Thank you for the email Ola, and thank you for your work maintaining this package. During the years I maintained this package it was almost always sufficient to 's/phpX.Y/phpZ.A/'. The one time it was not sufficient was because php-elisp didn't yet support some new breaking PHP changes, and this was very quickly resolved with upstream. Thus, my experience with this package was that the autopkgtests prevent regressions in Debian. I also remember periodic interactions with upstream, and they were always positive, so it's worth noting that we (as Debian) have a good rapport with this upstream. Regards, Nicholas
