Why not use PHP 5.4 on octopus too? Why only barracudda?

Please elaborate, I don't understand your question.

I mean that in the barracudda install we have the option
_PHP_FPM_VERSION=5.3 and can use 5.4
and _PHP_CLI_VERSION=5.3 also.

Yet in the octopus set up we can only use 5.3 here

It is because Octopus detects the PHP version installed by Barracuda automatically, so specifying it on the Octopus level makes sense only when you have 5.2 installed and want to use it for some reason. Otherwise it will detect and use PHP version installed by Barracuda automatically, so it doesn't matter what you have configured on the Octopus level -- so far there will be only one PHP version installed: 5.3, 5.4 or 5.5 (plus optionally 5.2 if defined explicitly with _PHP_MODERN_ONLY=NO in the .barracuda.cnf).

We do plan to make PHP version configurable per platform or per site at some point, but it is entirely different story.
