I note that the current packages in Debian unstable for PHP7 have a
separate mbstring package for some reason.
Also, as a side note, once I got around to figuring out everything that
needed installation[1] my local dev environment hasn't had much issue with
PHP7. The biggest problem is that luasandbox needs updating.
[1]: IIRC that's php-curl, php-intl, php-json, php-mbstring, php-mysql,
php-sqlite3, php-tidy, php-xml, php-redis, and php-xdebug, in addition to
the usual basic packages.
