Yes, I did. Sorry for the mistake.

Ouuups! This is now corrected, sorry I should have check more. It's
reuploaded at the same location:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/php-html-progress2/php-html-progress2_2.3.0-1.dsc

My previous sponsor thought it was better this way, so I changed to this
type of package.
I'm not fan of it as well, but this type of package (php-* which are
pear extensions) don't require a lot of packaging work, and I believe
that using CDBS makes it really smaller. And there's nothing to
understand (apart from my stupid typos that you have detected), this
type of package only needs to have files populated in /usr/share/pear
and in /usr/share/doc ...
If no one wants to sponsor this package because it's a CDBS one, I can
reverse the job, that would be easy, but I don't really think this is
needed.
