Understood, but actually you've laid a lot of great groundwork here.

I am keeping informal notes of status of things on this ubuntu wiki
page:

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Transition/Php8.0

To keep the page clean I'm deleting details once packages transition, but
if you're interested in those details they are in the page history.  For
the most part, solutions are generally "pull from Debian experimental"
(like I said you've done most of the groundwork already!)  But beyond
that some other notes:

  - php-apcu-bc appears to be getting dropped with php8.  We've had to
    adjust a few things that still depended on it, and then will drop it
    from the archive.

  - php-doctrine-cache needed some adjustments to get it happy with
    php8 (See 1.10.2-2ubuntu1.)


Remaining work items still TBD:

  - owfs feels like it's not gotten its php8 updates yet?

  - Various things still use the deprecated TSRMLS_CC macro which is
    dropped in php8.  Pulling from experimental resolved some of these,
    others may need changes from upstream; see wiki page for what
    we're still looking at.
