The Wily repo doesn't seem to have the lamp-server metapackage, and it may've been removed or replaced since earlier Ubuntu versions but I'm unaware since I've been a LEMH user for the past couple of years. (No official Wily repo for any of the LEMH components yet, hence my search for Ubuntu-shipped LAMP)

Can anyone enlighten me about lamp-server's fate? Was it completely removed or replaced and since which version?

There is no supported Ubuntu version containing a lamp-server meta-package. But you can ...

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

to search through apt-cache for the tasks lamp-server and install the packages in one step.

Example for apt-cache show apache2:

Package: apache2
Priority: optional
Section: web
…
Description-en: Apache HTTP Server
 The Apache HTTP Server Project's goal is to build a secure, efficient and
 extensible HTTP server as standards-compliant open source software. The
 result has long been the number one web server on the Internet.
 .
 Installing this package results in a full installation, including the
 configuration files, init scripts and support scripts.

Alternatively you can use tasksel:

sudo apt-get install tasksel
sudo tasksel install lamp-server
