If you can pull this http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-
php/php.git/commit/?h=master-
jessie&id=23e81c46bb4978596efe58a23070eb75dd3d5380 via SRU you might be
able to keep src:php5 from trusty on top of xenial (given there are no
conflicts in the libraries.

> Re: 7.0 security support ends in 2018

I expect the changes between 7.0 and 7.1 (and 7.2) much less intrusive
than changes between 5.6 and 7.x branch, so the security team will have
easier job maintaining 7.0 past 2018. (Same with PHP 5.4 <- we pull
security changes from PHP 5.5 for the moment.)

I just updated xdebug to rc4 today - retry with that. I had some users
reporting the segfaults in rc3 but fixed in git.
