could can be taken as could not :)

as all SAPI's require php-common (correct me!), then php-common is very right 
place to have it. altho gid=php is questionable.

one uses of gid=php was to use it in php-fcgi package, altho that package 
could have own dir in /var/run, which is probably better idea.

is the only use (now) php-session state dir?
