Following a discussion with Bryce earlier, on behalf of the SRU team I'm
declining this SRU and mark it Won't Fix.

It might have been relevant to fix in Xenial at the time, but the bug
has now been fixed in newer releases including in two newer LTS
releases. The benefit to Xenial users seems minimal now, especially as
not a single user has stepped up to test Jon's proposed fix in four
years.

As the impact on users on Xenial therefore appears to be zero, I don't
think it's appropriate to SRU this now, when balanced against the
regression risk of toolchain changes mutating a rebuild. If the
situation changes and users do appear who are affected, then we can
reconsider.

Note that I've not considered any other factors. If users are affected,
an appropriate answer may still be to upgrade rather than SRUing this
fix.

Title:
  augeas-lenses filter for PHP files doesn't match php7.0-* files

Status in augeas package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in augeas source package in Xenial:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Automation of configuration editing cannot be done for PHP
  installations on Xenial using augeas.  The location of php
  configuration files moved in php7, to a directory augeas doesn't look
  in.

  [Test Case]

    - Create lxc container
    $ sudo apt-get install php7.0-cli
    $ sudo apt-get install augeas-lenses augeas-tools
    $ augtool ls /files/etc/php
    ## (no output)
    - Add the PPA
    $ augtool ls /files/etc/php
    7.0/ = (none)

  
  [Regression Potential]

  Since this makes the PHP configuration accessible to augeas where it
  wasn't before, behaviors to watch for would relate to php
  configuration issues when augeas (or puppet) are in use.  It is
  expected that by now most administrators will have worked around the
  problem by using some other method to configure php, so it is unlikely
  users would experience behavior regression.

  
  [Fix]

  This adds the "/etc/php/*/*/*.ini" path to the php lense for augeas,
  following what upstream has done, and that we carry in newer versions of
  Ubuntu.

  
  [Discussion]

  While it is true that Xenial is old at this point, enterprises that use
  configuration automation software like augeas sometimes still need older
  versions of Ubuntu (e.g. via ESM).  PHP has been a popular choice for
  many enterprises in the past, so it is expected that PHP 5 -> 7.0
  upgrades are still relevant.  So, given that, plus the simplicity of
  this fix it seems still worthy of SRU.

  
  [Original Report]

  The filter list in /usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist/php.aug includes:
  /etc/php*/*/*.ini
  /etc/php*/fpm/pool.d/*.conf

  This will match the php5-fpm package files:
  /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini
  /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/*.conf

  But not the php7.0-fpm package files:
  /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini
  /etc/php/7.0/fpm/pool.d/*.conf

  Puppet handles this badly because augeas won't report that anything
  has changed trying to set options in /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini, so it
  does nothing instead of reporting an error:

  Debug: Augeas[php_sessions](provider=augeas): Will attempt to save and only run if files changed
  Debug: Augeas[php_sessions](provider=augeas): sending command 'set' with params ["/files/etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini/Session/session.gc_maxlifetime", "604800"]
  Debug: Augeas[php_sessions](provider=augeas): Skipping because no files were changed
  Debug: Augeas[php_sessions](provider=augeas): Closed the augeas connection
