[Pkg-php-pecl] Bug#816278: php-xdebug: PHP 5.6 support

[Michal Klichowicz]

Package: php-xdebug
Version: 2.4.0~rc4-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Recent package changelog messages (such as "Implement a dual PHP 5.6 and 7.0
build for PHP xdebug extension") suggest support for PHP 5.6 in xdebug package.

However, php-xdebug only provides extension for the 20151012 API, provided
by php7.0 packages (and depends on these), despite configuring it for 5.6
configuration directories as well.

Since php5-xdebug (working with libapache2-mod-php5) has been removed for most
architectures and php-xdebug depends on the 7.0 API (e.g. libapache2-mod-php7.0),
currently there's no way to use it under 5.x modules (libapache2-mod-php5*,
php5*-cli etc.).
