ok - my first attempt is now on mentors.debian.net
(http://mentors.debian.net/package/php-wpcli) and i can already see some
obvious issues that had escaped my attention when looking at lintian's
output in the terminal - including the fact that it seems that a git
submodule of the upstream repo (src/php/php-cli-tools) should probably
be packaged separately :S

ok, that's great. i love git awesomeness. my first packaging attempt did
not use any of this - i'll give it another go tomorrow.

thanks again for your help!
