composer-prerequisite
A packaging relationship refers to the PHP composer.
The PHP Composer is a tool to install PHP packages similar to
pip for Python and npm for Node.js. It should not
be pulled in as a packaging relationship.
In Debian, the composer is dealt with in other ways, such as
dh_phpcomposer from pkg-php-tools and
phpab, which generates a static autoloader.
Maintainers of PHP-related packages may not be aware of all of the conventions since many such packages are maintained by individuals who are not associated with the PHP PEAR Maintainers team.
For more information please consult:
- the dh_phpcomposer(1) manual page
- the phpab(1) manual page
