[pkg-php-pear] Bug#978442: Composer: Please, handle x versions as * versions

[David Prévot]

Package: pkg-php-tools
Version: 1.40
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I just noticed that dh_phpcomposer choke on versions like “1.4.x” that
seem to be equivalent to “1.4.*”, so it would be nice if it handle both
of those versions the same way.

Regards

David

P.-S.: The output I got while trying to handle phing’s move to its
composer source.
