IMHO, installing scripts with missing interpreters is not a good thing. I'm not sure that we prohibit it in the guide, but I lean to saying it should not happen. It basically moves dependency management to be manual.
I would argue that webserver related things are an exception - we do not mandate an apache dependency for anything that might want to render html.
I think it's better to have a split package that depends on php. Then when you install that, the package works.
Given there are plenty of "let's encrypt" tools around, that is probably the best way forward.
