There's quite a lot of missing dependencies for the composer package
proposal currently in Debian, I tried to follow that route already (but
didn't ask the mailing list).

The thing is that we need the composer package just for the building
process, and don't need to distribute it to end users, I don't think that
building and maintaining lots of backported packages is worth it unless
there's a chance to push them to Debian backports I guess.
