[pkg-php-pear] PHPUnit 9 for Bullseye (Was: RFH: PHPUnit 9 compatibility)

[David Prévot]

Hi,

With the just uploaded php-symfony-security-acl, I believe we are now 
ready to upload PHPUnit 9 to unstable. I intend to proceed soon (maybe 
today or tomorrow), so if you disagree with this plan, I suggest you say 
so right now ;).

Except for php-imagick (that needs either a fix in its testsuite or in 
PHPUnit behavior), I intend to follow up with the five or so remaining 
packages that need a fix to run with PHPUnit 9 (not uploaded yet because 
the proposed fixes would actually make the packages FTBFS when the 
testsuite is run under PHPUnit 8).

I’ll need to upload some packages locally built (as recently done with 
php-phpspec-prophecy-phpunit), and intend to also use a ~stage1 Debian 
version to make it obvious it’ll need another source upload once 
everything is in place. I’ll also need to upload packages by batch in a 
certain order to minimize the ~stage1 trick, so it will take me some 
time to properly prepare.
