Hi David,

Great, thanks a lot!

A few tests errors without it. Once the rest of the tests are working,
I'll check what they do and let you know if they are worth packaging
php-email-validator.

The missing b-d is php5-sqlite, I added it in my WIP-branch.

Most of the defective tests have "class XYZ not found" fatal errors due
to a bug in phpunit 4.2.6. This bug was closed in phpunit's upstream VCS
with commit 38231aa3737e2db37242f4b867acc40ca08ae32e [1].
In order to proceed with symfony 2.6.x, we either
a) need a newer phpunit (4.3.0 or up),
b) or patch 4.2.6-2 in Debian (by taking upstreams commit, which can be
applied easily),
c) or find some crazy workaround and ship it with src:symfony.

I would vote for b) short-term and a) long-term.

@Prach: Do you have time to either patch or upgrade phpunit. If you like
I can prepare a new 4.2.6-3 version directly in git (in a separate
branch if you prefer).


Greetings
Daniel
