Bug Description
In Xenial, if one installs php-tcpdf then it also installs php5 packages, namely
php5-common, php5-gd, php5-mcrypt, libphp5.6-embed
regardless of whether the php7.0 alternatives for the above packages exist. This shouldn't be the case. The package should detect the php7.0 dependencies and not install any php5 ones.
phpmyadmin (which depends on php-tcpdf) also gives rise to this issue.
