[pkg-lighttpd] Bug#859927: lighttpd: 15-fastcgi-php.conf does not respect php7.0 transition

[Carsten Schoenert]

Source: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.45-1
Severity: grave

Dear Maintainers,

I run into trouble while trying to use lighttp and fastcgi functionality
within testing/stretch.
lighttpd fails to start if I have enabled the modul fastcgi after using
lighttpd-enable-mod

# lighttpd-enable-mod fastcgi-php

After a while of investigation it turned out the 15-fastcgi-php.conf is
still using the PHP5 style and depends. I need to install the package
 php7.0-cgi and to change the call for the PHP cgi binary. As the install of
lighttpd is running without errors I think the package is also needed to change
the suggesting of the (currently wrong) package php5-cgi into a depends on
package php7.0-cgi. Without this package lighttp isn't working right now after
the modul is enabled.

The following change solved the issue for me.
