I don’t know « pear run-tests », but I successfully tested that the
build fails if a test fails (so that it exits with !=0 on failure).

I’ve prepared another approach for running the tests sooner during the
package build (via dh_auto_test), but have to patch the package
differently for DEP-8 to make sure the installed version is used (I’ll
push it after a bit more tests).

The presence of phpunit.xml.dist may be a good hint that “phpunit” is
the right command to run. I may open a bug report (and hopefully provide
a patch) once I’ve implemented such tests on other packages (i.e., once
I have more experiences with that).

Great, so there is still hope, explicit CC to andrea who may be able to
share more light on php-composer packaging status, and its eventual
features.

Fair enough, thanks for sharing your thoughts (someone who maintain
composer packages may step in and propose patches ;). I’ve started to
fix some of my packages to use a PSR-0 compliant path (php-opencloud
included) that should also help in (default) autoloading.
