After thinking about this, I think that it's best to keep the separate composer packages, since collapsing into one and relying on xbps-alternatives to choose a php version restricts the utility of having alternatives in the first place. If I want to have both a PHP 8.0 and 8.1 installation on a single machine, I would still like to be able to use composer with both 8.0 and 8.1.
