Great.

Some quick remarks (don't hesitate to ask if it's too quick and you
don't understand):
- Can you move it to pkg-php?
- control's Vcs-* fields should point to the packaging repo (and not
the upstream repo)
- Have you run lintian on it? It seems long desc is probably too
short. You should explain what symfoy is here.
- Can you fill an ITP and add it to changelog?
- the tests should probably be installed

I have not tried to build nor tested (using phpunit), but the packages
seems good.

THis one is a PEAR package and not a Composer package.

according to composer naming scheme, it is php-symfony-* and no php-symfony2-*.
