No problem.

Since you are not familiar with config file handling, the difficulty is
(I think, not sure, maybe it will just work) to let ucf thinks that an
unmodified configuration file migrated with the script is unmodified. I
suppose this means that we need to ship a migrated version of the
configuration file we shipped until this point.

Maybe adding php as a Pre-Depends. I think preinst is better because
otherwise, the "new" configuration files from the packages are
installed. But if we are careful with the conversion, it could also be
done in postinst.
