Taking a look at the package, there are some minor issues:

* Please don't use tarballs inside tarballs. This makes diff'ing
upstream code changes unnecessarily more complex.

debian/control:
* is Ola Lundqvist still really going to co-maint the package?

debian/*post{inst,rm}:
* The module enabling/disabling is unnecessary and will be handled
later with the inclusion of the extensions manager.
* I really don't understand why ucf is used in the first place, but
that's "fine."

debian/rules:
> patch: apply-patches
useless because the apply-patches target doesn't exist
* Not sure it is worth adding all the phpX stuff, but well...
  - if you are still going ahead with it, then:
  a) the calls to phpize also need versioned
  b) phpize --clean only needs to be called during the clean target
  c) you can't use DEB_SRCDIR directly, as adding another dependency
on configure_for_php% would overwrite what the previous one did. This
is not what you want
* If you are using cdbs why don't you just use its autotools class?

debian/TODO:
* The re2c warning is useless for anything but php itself. So, no, you
don't need to do anything about it.

debian/watch:
* You need to mangle the upstream versions, otherwise it reports:
Newest version on remote site is 3.0.0b2, local version is 3.0.0~rc1
