I’ve not yet tried to debug the issue, but want to state that it might
just be a bad use case on my side: I’ve had good results while using it
from a build process of another package I came across.

To be clear, if it works for you (as needed for PHPUnit packaging), I’m
willing to upload the package as is (and to eventually fill a proper
bug report with hopefully more useful data of the issue I encountered)

That’s the only blocker IMHO (my other remarks were merely cosmetics),
and I’m happy to upload it once you’ve confirmed php-depend is in the
state you want it to be.

P.-S.: FTPmasters just processed a bunch of needed dependencies, only
phpdox (and php-parser as its last build-dependency) is to be processed.

P.-P.-S.: the other cosmetic remarks, as reminder (no action needed if
you disagree or don’t believe they worth being addressed).
