Key packages are automatically generated, based on popcon (and possibly
priority) then recursively getting their (build-)deps.

If php5 is going to be removed from the archive, then it will go away from the
list when that happens; no need to worry about it. As for php7, it will
eventually get there automatically (assuming enough installations).
