Please find attached a short debdiff that fixes the issue at hand 
(restoring php7.4 as default in unstable), without an epoch (the ugly 
2:8.1+85+really7.4+87+nmu1 version being higher than 2:8.1+85, the 
binary packages won’t be rejected, and will disappear as soon as you’ll 
upload a higher version (e.g. 88) without this change when the php8.1 
transition will start, 2:8.1+88 being higher than 
2:8.1+85+really7.4+87+nmu1).

I’ve tested that the new binary packages are now allowed to be installed 
and that related packages can again be built.

I’m happy to upload it if you or the release team agree. I don’t mind if 
the transition gets started right now either (even if we have no proper 
php8.1 as default in experimental to get a grasp of expected issues).

Regards

David
