Dear Maintainer,

Ubuntu 17.10 (and eventually Debian) are switching the default PHP to
7.1. To that end, it is better to depend on the php-cli metapackage,
unless explicit version-specific dependencies exist (for the CLI this
seems unlikely).

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:


  * d/control: change b-d from php7.0 to php-cli, as there is no
    specific need for PHP7.0.


Thanks for considering the patch.
