Yeah, I figured out doing that manually is not a good idea at all. As I
just wrote [1] I managed to let dh_phpcomposer do that for me. Now it's
only about adding some nice descriptions to d/control (and decide which
version to package and do a license check and probably drop the
depend-on-all-components metapackage I put in d/control at the very
beginning, since I doubt it makes sense).
