Comment 22 for bug 1522422

@racb and rest:

The main blocker is all the rdeps that depend on php5-<something>. There are two approaches we could take:

1) patch all the sources to depend on php-<something>

2) prepare src:php5 that just depend 1:1 on src:php7.0

well, there's third option:

3) do as much 1) and then finish with 2)

I have prepared 2) here: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-php/php5.git/

Re 1) the new pkg-php-tools and naming needs decision and a quite lot of work:

This has to be solved by PEAR maintainers with help from anybody who has time to help (that's not me).

Cheers,
