It doesn't build on my SID box:

dh binary --buildsystem=phppear --with phppear
   dh_testroot -O--buildsystem=phppear
   dh_prep -O--buildsystem=phppear
   dh_installdirs -O--buildsystem=phppear
   dh_auto_install -O--buildsystem=phppear
Unknown channel "wp-cli.github.com/pear"
Parsing of package.xml from file "./wpcli-0.6.0/package.xml" failed

As for the Git packaging, if you haven't done so, please join the
PKG-PHP group on alioth.debian.org, and I'll add you the PKG PEAR
maintainer rights once you're in. Then please upload the git repo on Alioth.

Cheers,

Thomas
