php-defaults 2:8.0+82~0build1 has not yet made it into the release
pocket, so removing php7.4 will make large swaths of packages
uninstallable (and results in proposed-migration being rather
untrustworthy in resolving these uninstallabilities correctly).  php-
defaults appears to be blocked from migrating by autopkgtest regressions
that are unrelated to php7.4.  So removing php7.4 does not look correct
to me.

We will eventually have to deal with php-defaults migration making
php7.4-common uninstallable; but that is likely best handled by a force
hint in britney, not a forced removal of php7.4.
