Well, it’s either making the package binNMUable (using generic php-fpm test dependency) or recording the exact dependencies (using php7.3-fpm) or dynamically generating debian/tests/control like I do for php-defaults (which requires much more complex system).
But somehow for this simple package I would just prefer to just bite the bullet once in a while, do binNMU and then suffer it through… My experience tells me that “the simpler the better” even if it’s not perfect. Perfect but complex tend to break in more mysterious way... If you can come up with something smarter, then I am sure the maintainer of the package would be all ears.
