At a user's request,

The transition plan at https://github.com/gentoo/libressl/wiki/Transition-plan suggests something slightly different so it might be better to go with the "official" dependency.

We might also have some trouble with the KEYWORDs. LibreSSL has only ~amd64 ~arm ~hppa ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~x86, while PHP itself has a much larger list. The "libressl" flag is masked on alpha, arm, ia64, and sparc, though, so maybe that won't be a problem.

We can try it and see what happens the next time we need to bump dev-lang/php.

There was no issue with the keywords.
