[TYPO3-core] PHP version requirement

Hi Guys,

I'm sad reading always the same discussions.
We have 2 points:

	1. debian stable should be supported (with latest fixes)
	2. debian should use standard non backported packages of php.

I think both points should be respected.
I fully agree, that the debian way of backporting is scary, but if we
can ensure that the backports are working, the NON BLOCKING warning can
be savely ignored!

Regards
Kay
