If you can pull this http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-php/php.git/commit/?h=master-jessie&id=23e81c46bb4978596efe58a23070eb75dd3d5380 via SRU you might be able to keep src:php5 from trusty on top of xenial (given there are no conflicts in the libraries.

I expect the changes between 7.0 and 7.1 (and 7.2) much less intrusive than changes between 5.6 and 7.x branch, so the security team will have easier job maintaining 7.0 past 2018. (Same with PHP 5.4 <- we pull security changes from PHP 5.5 for the moment.)

I just updated xdebug to rc4 today - retry with that. I had some users reporting the segfaults in rc3 but fixed in git.
