install php7.0 pthreads using package manager

I do web development. For development I use mac, installing PHP7.0/Mysql5.6 using macports. On production I use Ubuntu, installing PHP7.0 using apt-get via a PPA.

I have looked at the documentation, for installing pthreads but all of the resources talk about compiling PHP from source. I really don't want to go down that route, because (1) it sux, and (2) updates are a hassle.

How can I install pthreads in such a way that updates are handled with a package manager/automatically, like other extensions are?
