Bug#818962: [lintian] Proposed patches for php checks

[Ondřej Surý <ondrej@debian.org>]

Hi Jakub and Mathieu,

I think the lintian should not allow dependency on phpX.Y-<foo>, but
only on php-<foo> (people can still override that), because we want
packages to transition between different PHP versions by default.

I'll review Mathieu's patches tomorrow and update them accordingly.

Cheers,
