Dear maintainer, I have added a related merge request on salsa fast-forwarding the related git sub-module to the fixed version. https://salsa.debian.org/php-team/pear/php-pear/-/merge_requests/3
Not entirely sure if gitlab is the best route to help in this package case, but since I saw a couple of MRs closed, I decided to go that way. Let me know if other changes would be needed, or any other feedback, Best, -Marco
