Thanks for having a look at the package. We decided to go with php5 for
the upload since

    * back then it looked as if stretch would ship with php5
    * php7 support is well underway upstream but not everything
      _dependent_ on zarafacore was able to use php7 back then

We'll likely disable php support for the moment to get the package into
the archive and enable it once the dependencies support php7.

Will do. Lintian we used back then didn't have these checks yet.

Hopefully not. The first time kopano was rejected (back in March) it was
due to a licensing issue. Could you have a look at the copyright file so
we can clean that up as well in case you find something lacking?
