Verified in 3.6.1-1ubuntu1.1.

Note that this does possibly violate the principle of least surprise for end-users upgrading from 16.04 through -updates. That is, the existing ganglia-webfrontend package pulled in php-fpm by default (via php -> php7.0 -> php7.0-fpm being listed first). When the -updates version gets installed, the end user would need to specify manually to install libapache2-mod-php. This is because even with the -updates version listing libapache2-mod-php preferentially as a dependency, it will already be satisifed by php (via php7.0 <- php7.0-fpm) from the broken package.

I'm not sure how to resolve this properly, as it *can* be correct to use php-fpm with ganglia (as nginx provides httpd-cgi), but requires manual managing of the nginx configuration.
