thanks, this is fixed now.

ok, fixed.

very good point - fixed.

agreed - longdesc is updated. i personally find it easier to read the
generic Symfony framework description first and the component's
description second, but either way works well so i have updated control
according to your suggestion.

having followed this part of the thread between yourself and Mathieu, i
have left the phpcomposer substvars in place and have *not* added any
phppear ones.

Mathieu, you mentioned that the Symfony PEAR channel is out of date -
however, as Thomas pointed out, somehow confusingly there are two
distinct ones at different domains, and http://pear.symfony.com/ seems
indeed indeed up to date to me, with all components up to version 2.3.1.

however, to add to the confusion, upstream's PEAR packages use symfony2
as part of the package name, whereas upstream's composer.json data use
symfony. unless i'm missing something, Debian packages for these
Symfony(2) components could be generated either via phpcomposer or
phppear, although this needs to be done consistently (which is easy
since we're just starting and there aren't that many components).

i assume upstream provide both distribution methods for different use
cases (PEAR for system-wide installs, composer for in-project-folder
installs).

other than this, i think php-symfony-process should be in rather good
shape by now:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-php/php-symfony-process.git;a=summary

best,
andrea
