Hello, 

Today i did a rebuild of the kopano packages on debian stretch within a pbuilder setup.
To allow backporting a bit more easy i suggest in debian/rules the following.

To detect the php-dev version. 
PHP_VERSION=$(dpkg -s php-dev | grep -i version | cut -d":" -f3 |awk -F"+" '{ print $1}')

I needed a copy of the php7.2 to 7.0
cp php7.2-mapi.substvars php7.0-mapi.substvars

And i needed the following packages from buster to allow the rebuild.
apt-get install -t buster gsoap libgsoap-dev libvmime-dev

This was my first attempt to rebuild and this looks great. 
Next i'll rebuild the packages from buster also and report again.
and yes i did see bug : 907396, i'll have a look at that one also.

My goal is here is a stable kopano server on debian stretch with backported packages. 
If you want build logs, let me know, i'll put them online if wanted.

Greetz, 

Louis
