Have you spoken to the symfony maintainers for sponsorship? As you are anyway
intending to upload this package with pkg-symfony-maint set as maintainer, you
would probably want to incorporate their feedback and might well get much more
appropriate input from that side.

For the general comments, however, I've got three notes:

- test/etc/xsl has files with Apache 2.0 license. This must be noted in
  debian/copyright.
- Having read the package description in debian/control, I have no idea what
  this package is about. Please make it much more verbose and possibly reword
  it. Here, the debian-l10n-english list may be of help.
- A new upstream release is available.

Best regards,
Michael
