Too bad. :( There are a lot of good software that don't get into Debian
as no one notices their importance.

Will look into it. How it goes?

Well, upstream should be noted about the failures. Those can be for
several reasons. Bad version of PHP installed, testcase failures, some
dependency is missing or not set up correctly.

The answer is two folds. Testcase errors don't necessary means the
result is faulty. See your case, it works in real environment.
Also, Debian has a queue before release. Packages go to unstable, which
shows it's a new version and may have problems. If it passes ten days
there, it can enter to testing. After several months, a new stable
release happen. Any time it has a serious problem, it is removed from
the list of packages that are ready to be released.
In short, let it go to unstable, ask upstream about build failures and
see how they can be fixed.
