OK, I’ve updated the [wiki] and put php-doctrine-data-fixtures on hold (if
it’s actually needed, just ping me, I should be able to finish it in a
timely manner. It seems I’m the only Doctrine-in-Debian contributor left
currently anyway).

   wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/PHP/SymfonyComponents

All documented dependencies are ready.

Great. I have no idea how to handle multiple composer.json files with
dh_phpcomposer yet, and I wish we could use the Composer parser instead of
implementing our own in dh_phpcomposer, but those are two orthogonal
goals.

I have no deep knowledge on pkg-php-tools, but had to hack it a little bit
recently, and Mathieu follows the list, so this list is probably the best
place to follow up anyway.
