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.
