magic_quotes_gpc on by default??

I've just wasted a few hours by trying to find a bug in my code that
messed up my JSON-passed-on-$_GET.
I'm using fopen() so please no nagging about putting JSON in $_POST..

I finally found the answer; in my distro's /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini,
magic_quotes_gpc is ON.
I'd like to know why, since it's being depracted anyway:

I'm on

Either Ubuntu is turning it on by default, your ISP has turned it on
(assuming it's not your own server), or someone else has turned it on at
some point.
