Well, i doesn't do much to "find" it. It is a distribution-specific way
to manage symlinks to ini files.

All it does is to check whether

   /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/${extname}.ini

exists and if it does link it to

   /etc/php/7.0/${sapi}/conf.d/${extname}.ini

It doesn't help to find those extensions (which are to be installed via
apt) or similar.

The split of per-sapi ini scan dir is also Ubuntu-specific.

So in that form these scrips are quite useless for vanilla PHP.

Where such a mechanism can make sense is in a pecl installer, which
currently works by trying to edit the main php.ini file after building
the extension.
