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.
