 I've ssen both name schemata being used and wasn't able to figure out
a pattern behind it unfortunately, and didn't find a documentation
along the lines unfortunately. There are also many other PHP packages
that start with php7.0-*, and unfortunately I settled for the wrong
naming scheme.

 On the other hand, given that the package only lives in unstable I
don't see the need for a transitional package.  It wasn't part of any
release and thus I think adding the complexity isn't needed.  Users of
unstable are meant to be able to deal with such things.

 Sure.  Can you maybe point me to the documentation on that guideline
so I can avoid it in the future?  I really looked at the package in the
pool, couldn't figure out what the default schema is meant to be, asked
around ...  Mistakes happen, so very much thanks for your report and
the possibility to fix this. :)

 Enjoy,
Rhonda
