Hi,

I don't think it's right to say this is a bug in pkg-php-tools.
pkg-php-tools only adds dependencies which are in the package.xml. If
they are wrong, then it is up to the maintainer of each package to fix
it, by removing ${phppear:Debian-Depends} from Depends:, and manage it
by hand.

By the way, Luis, could you please work out a fix for phpunit-story? I
can sponsor the upload if needed (or set the DM perms ...). Please don't
delay the fix, as we are now in deep freeze, and that the release team
is expecting you to fix problems on your packages asap.

Cheers,

Thomas
