You've manually installed php5-cgi which satisfies (one of) the dependency of the  
php5 package, therefor libapache2-mod-php5 wasn't installed.
So if you had correctly configured php5-cgi you could've made it work as well (I 
think; I have no experience with php5-cgi package).
The description of php5-cgi contains "Note that MOST Apache users probably want 
the libapache2-mod-php5 package". 
So it's (likely) possible to configure php handling with cgi, but it's easier 
with libapache2-mod-php5 ;-)
With 'aptitude why/why-not <package>' you can probably figure out why a certain 
package is installed (why) or why you don't want to remove it (why-not).
