Dear Maintainer,

The PHP_EXTRA_VERSION variable used to be configured in debian/rules
before PHP 7.4. After this, the upstream configure.ac file changed and
the sed command in debian/rules became a no-op.

This patch restores the former behaviour to set the PHP_EXTRA_VERSION
with the debian release so the internal PHP version will be the same as
the package version:

https://salsa.debian.org/php-team/php/-/merge_requests/14

However, a fix for a related upstream issue at
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79026 has been merged
(https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/d35df89c357dafdfc383e1272c4121a416ac3482)
and is available in php 8.3.x.

Hence, we could consider the following fix:
https://salsa.debian.org/php-team/php/-/merge_requests/16/diffs?commit_id=412633246bab5d04cda3aba747612ba9f3a5f62f

This may be specially useful for users who want to inspect (from within
their PHP code) if specific fixes are available in stable releases.
