Ran into this problem when building a new deployment server on jessie.
Various update tasks (beta-update-database, beta-scap-eqiad) have so far required:

Looks like we need php5-curl and maybe mediawiki::packages::legacy to be included on deployment servers.
Change 313305 had a related patch set uploaded (by Hashar):
Bring back Zend PHP on deployment server
For some reason the Zend packages are no more installed on Jessie, though we actually need them at least for mwscript but maybe I am confused.
Regardless on deployment-tin, adding mediawiki::packages::php5 yields:
Notice: /Stage[main]/Mediawiki::Packages::Php5/Package[php5-mysql]/ensure: ensure changed 'purged' to 'present' Notice: /Stage[main]/Mediawiki::Packages::Php5/Package[php5-geoip]/ensure: ensure changed 'purged' to 'present' Notice: /Stage[main]/Mediawiki::Packages::Php5/Package[php5-xmlrpc]/ensure: ensure changed 'purged' to 'present' Notice: /Stage[main]/Mediawiki::Packages::Php5/Package[php5-dbg]/ensure: ensure changed 'purged' to 'present' Notice: /Stage[main]/Mediawiki::Packages::Php5/Package[php5-memcached]/ensure: ensure changed 'purged' to 'present' Notice: /Stage[main]/Mediawiki::Packages::Php5/Package[php-wikidiff2]/ensure: ensure changed 'purged' to 'present' Notice: /Stage[main]/Mediawiki::Packages::Php5/Package[php5-curl]/ensure: ensure changed 'purged' to 'present' Notice: /Stage[main]/Mediawiki::Packages::Php5/Package[php-luasandbox]/ensure: ensure changed 'purged' to 'present' Notice: /Stage[main]/Mediawiki::Packages::Php5/Package[php5-redis]/ensure: ensure changed 'purged' to 'present' Notice: /Stage[main]/Mediawiki::Packages::Php5/Package[php5-intl]/ensure: ensure changed 'purged' to 'present'
That fix scap on beta.
It looks like we removed php5 packages as part of the move to jessie: https://github.com/wikimedia/operations-puppet/commit/35f6983b1a60b9f7cf1fa120dcf2f1df8fc8374c
Seems like we probably need it on any host that runs mwscripts: deployment hosts, terbium, the codfw terbium equivalent, and possibly fluorine.
So we have switched today the primary deployment server to mira.codfw.wmnet which is running Jessie. The European SWAT deploy had a portal change which requires to run:
cat /srv/mediawiki-staging/portals/urls-to-purge.txt | mwscript purgeList.php
That dies with:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'Memcached' not found in /srv/mediawiki-staging/php-1.28.0-wmf.21/includes/libs/objectcache/MemcachedPeclBagOStuff.php on line 63 Fatal error: Class 'Memcached' not found in /srv/mediawiki-staging/php-1.28.0-wmf.21/includes/libs/objectcache/MemcachedPeclBagOStuff.php on line 63
Moritz has run puppet on mira.codfw.wmnet (Jessie) and that fixed the issue above.
We will most probably want to a similar patch for the work machine such as terbium/wassat whenever they get reimaged to Jessie.
Alternatively, find a way to get mwscript to use /usr/bin/php / HHVM which is T146285
Change 315260 had a related patch set uploaded (by Muehlenhoff):
Provide PHP packages for mwscript
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/315260/ adds mediawiki::packages::php5 on the role::mediawiki::maintenance servers. That fix it on deployment servers.
