[php-maint] Bug#886722: php: Backport of buster PHP7.1 to stretch-backports to allow usage of new PHP applications

[andrerom]

Package: php
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

a growing list of PHP applications starts to require PHP 7.1*, and given
Buster is still far off. As per Debians Backport feature would thus
request backport of buster's phph7.1 to stretch-backports so Debain can
also support PHP 7.1 in stable distribution for our loyal Debian users.


Best,
andrerom
