I don’t have much more advice for the php-pear packaging point of view, 
besides the lack of tests. Upstream usually remove them from the 
tarball, that’s why we prefer to build the package directly from the 
upstream Git repository.

We’ve not settled on a proper branching name when experimental is 
involved. I doubt that this package will need it anyway given the 
current release pace. I usually track the latest commit in the 
debian/latest branch, and create a specific debian/$major or 
debian/$major.$minor branch to track a lower version when the latest one 
is not yet fit to target the next Debian release.
