There is dh_phpcomposer(1) (that also points to 
/usr/share/doc/pkg-php-tools/README.Composer), but that may be a bit 
old. For the name, it’s usually easier if it matches the way 
dh_phpcomposer(1) translates it from the name as provided in 
composer.json (but overrides are possible).

The latter (you’ll need to get the dependencies packaged), you may also 
have a look at phpabtpl(1) to help providing an autoload.php.

You may look at a package recently uploaded, extra points if it looks 
like what you are currently aiming at packaging. Maybe 
php-doctrine-common is straightforward enough.

That’s php-random-compat. The version currently in experimental provides 
/usr/share/pkg-php-tools/{autoloaders,overrides}/php-random-compat to 
help dh_phpcomposer(1) and phpabtpl(1) find the correct package name and 
path.
