[pkg-php-pear] Bug#725739: Please, make substitution with phpcomposer smarter

[David Prévot]

Package: pkg-php-tools
Version: 1.8
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

The latest version of composer.json in php-patchwork-utf8 contains the
following:

    "require": {
        "php": ">=5.3.0",
        "lib-pcre": "*"
    },
    "suggest": {
        "lib-icu": "Use Intl for best performance",
        "lib-iconv": "Use iconv for best performance",
        "ext-mbstring": "Use Mbstring for best performance"
    },

The lib-$stuff are replaced by php-lib-$stuff, and ext-mbstring is
ignored.

It would be nice if lib-pcre and lib-iconv were ignored (since the php5
Debian package is built with pcre, iconv), as ext-mbstring is (the php5
Debian package is also built with mbstring).

It would also be nice if lib-icu were replaced by php5-intl.

Regards

David
