dh-php 3.1

[Ondřej Surý]

Hi Bryce,

I will start the transition as soon as bullseye is out, so if you can I would recommend doing the bump. It would give you the time to iron out the bugs I didn’t caught before 22.04 LTS.

There’s one missing thing though - the d/control is autogenerated and it might cause some problems with the archive tools. But it should not be that hard to fix that (just move the d/control to d/control.in and keep the generated d/control as part of the source archive).
