If you weren't already aware, please note the extra steps needed when
reintroducing packages that were removed from Debian (e.g. bug reopen):

Hi Paul, Thanks for the pointers.
While I am working on packaging details, I still want to make sure it is
OK to re-introduce the package due to the PHP-3.0 issues I pointed
before.
On top of that, I needed to change one of the build time internal
dependencies so we wouldn't end up with (hundreds of) broken links. This
led to the need of clarification on
https://github.com/php/web-php/issues/711 by the upstream project.
If the stylesheets provided are indeed proprietary, I will need to write
our own.
Finally, I did go through the bugs closed with +rm, and am commenting on
each of them here to ensure we have notes for when we un-archive them.

This one is regarding the PHP 7 transition. It was the reason the
package was removed and it is fixed in the new proposed package.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=737713
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=766882
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734145
These are all regarding broken links and missing files. They are fixed
in the new proposed package and I also added an autopkgtest to ensure
there will be no regressions here.

This is a request to add additional links for aliases. It is still
valid and should be dealt with upstream.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=606081
This is a request to improve an specific function behavior
documentation. I will probably forward this upstream to be handled
there.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=288744
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=348512
These are requests to package different language translations.
Unfortunatelly, most PHP translations are far from complete and I am
not sure they'd be ready for packaging, with exception of one
language. I could package that one __if__ there is interest for that
in the long run. Otherwise, we should keep these open until the docs
get more translated contents.
