This bug was fixed in the package php-universe-source7.0 - 7.0.4-5ubuntu1

---------------
php-universe-source7.0 (7.0.4-5ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Build of universe components to match LP: #1553419 upload of php7.0.
    - d/rules: mark universe as enabled.
    - d/control{,.in}: add Build-Depends on firebird-dev,
      libc-client-dev, libmcrypt-dev, libonig-dev, libqdbm-dev and
      libzip-dev.
    - d/control{,.in}: rename Source: to match this build. [previously
      undocumented]
    - drop Testsuite: autopkgtest since this package has no tests.
    - d/control: remove binary packages that are not built by this
      source package. [previously undocumented]

php7.0 (7.0.4-5ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #1553419). Remaining changes:
    - Add support for independent source packages php7.0 and
      php7.0-universe-source (LP #1555843):
      + d/control{,.in}: drop Build-Depends on firebird-dev, libc-client-dev,
        libmcrypt-dev, libonig-dev, libqdbm-dev and libzip-dev.
      + d/control: drop binary packages php7.0-imap, php7.0-interbase,
        php7.0-mcrypt and php7.0-zip and their reverse dependencies.
      + d/control{,.in}: add Build-Depends on dctrl-tools.
      + d/rules.d/ext-interbase.mk: add pdo config to interbase's
        config, as php7.0-universe-common will not use ext-common.mk.
    - d/control{,.in}: switch Build-Depends of netcat-traditional to
      netcat-openbsd as only the latter is in main.
    - d/rules: do not generate debian/tests/control when building for
      universe.
    - d/rules: use grep-dctrl to remove binary packages not generated by
      this source package during the build (dpkg-genchanges complains
      otherwise).
  * Drop:
    - d/rules: use grep{,-dctrl} to filter out makefile snippets and
      binary packages that require universe.
      [ Not present ]
    - Undocumented changes to debian/control.
      [ Prior merge churn]
  * php7.0-interbase: Do not install pdo.so, as it is provided
    by php7.0-common (LP: #1556486).
