I get that the .ini files in /etc/php5/cli have to do with CLI usage of PHP, the files in /etc/php5/fpm are about FastCGI/FPM aspect of PHP, but what about the .ini files located in /etc/php5/conf.d?

    From /usr/share/doc/php5-common/README.Debian.gz (on an Ubuntu system with PHP installed):

    Additionally, each SAPI is configured with the compile-time option 

        --with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php5/$SAPI/conf.d

    which for all SAPI’s is actually a symlink pointing to a central
    directory /etc/php5/conf.d. Any file found in this directory ending
    in .ini will be treated as a configuration file by the php SAPI.

    The rationale with this method is that each SAPI can thus be
    identically configured with a minimal amount of conffile handling, but
    at the same time if you want to have SAPI-specific configuration, you
    can just remove the symlink.
