[pkg-php-pear] Package naming problem (php-codesniffer vs. php-squizlabs-php-codesniffer)

[Katharina Drexel]

When building and installing a package I got the error:
-----%<---------
php-laravel-mail-auto-embed depends on php-squizlabs-php-codesniffer (>= 3.5); however:
  Package php-squizlabs-php-codesniffer is not installed.
----->%--------
The package exists but with the name "php-codesniffer" (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/php-codesniffer).

For getting out of troubles I workarounded that with a meta-package
"php-squizlabs-php-codesniffer" that traces the package "php-codesniffer" as
dependency (https://salsa.debian.org/php-team/pear/php-squizlabs-php-codesniffer/), but there might be more elegant approaches (of course I could adopt the composer.json or control file in the newly built package, but there will be other people and packages that will run into the same problem I guess).
Did anybody make a similar experience and/or has a sustainable solution for that?

Thanks already
Katharina
