Attached is patch I prepared as discussed. This patch to the postinst script will disable php5 and enable php7.0 module. This rule is applied when upgrading from version less than or equal to 0.9. It is not applied when doing a fresh install.
I believe that after applying this patch, we need to make a new release 0.9.1 to fix the php migration issue. I have tested as follows: I have taken a fresh 0.7.2 image and upgraded to latest sid. I can see that php7 is not installed. Then after installing the deb package with this patch included, php7 got installed and freedombox has successfully switch the enabled version of php to php7. I have tested shaarli, tt-rss (reported #824029), roundcube (needs update to 1.2beta for php7 support). -- Sunil

Subject: [PATCH] When upgrading from < 0.9 enable php7
When upgrading from a version less then 0.9 and if php5 is enabled (not
disabled by user for any reason) then disable php5 and enable php7.0
module (php7.0 conflicts with php5).
Hack around the problem that apache maintainer scripts don't allow
disabling a module during postinst configure phase.
