Just to note: the void-docs [advise against installing the `php` package(s) for non-development purposes](https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/php.html). 

As I'm thinking about it, I don't really understand why we depend on php at all, since the user will have to install the php-fpm, php-apache, or php-cgi for that specific version as well. So all this does is pull in a php that the user may or may not end up using if they installed php8.0 or php8.2 instead. This situation is similar in some ways to postgresql and IIRC is why packages don't generally depend on postgresql and leave it as a task to the user to manually install and configure.
