The Debian Emacsen team is adopting php-elisp.  We plan to convert the
package to use dh-elpa; php-elisp will become a dummy transitional
package, and elpa-php-mode will contain everything else.  All elpafied
packages' names must correspond to their equivalent GNU ELPA and/or
MELPA distributed version.

Consequently, there should no longer be any ambiguity that this one is
intended:
  https://stable.melpa.org/#/php-mode

The following webpage is already defined as Homepage:
  https://github.com/ejmr/php-mode

http://php-mode.sf.net is now obsolete.  I'm hesitant to add
https://stable.melpa.org/#/php-mode to the long description, because
none of our team's other packages provide links to MELPA.  Also, our
team avoids packaging anything that doesn't provide either a release
tarball or tagged releases in a proper VCS.

Do you think renaming src:php-elisp to src:php-mode would reduce the
ambiguity of which PHP Emacs package is in question?

Cheers,
Nicholas
