[php-maint] updating php-pear on squeeze? Was: phpunit: missing versioned build dependency

Hi there,

I was looking into backporting php-codesniffer to squeeze.
Unfortunately this requires phpunit (>= 3.6). When trying to backport
phpunit I stumbled upon this problem:

Isn't there no easy way to update php-pear (without updating pear via
pear) without backporting the whole php5 source package?

My idea behind this is, I want to use a recent version of
php-codesniffer to evaluate on a squeeze system, if the used PHP
software is compatible to PHP 5.4 without installing PHP 5.4 itself
and break things _before_ knowing where (web-)application developers
failed in the past.

Many thanks for your ideas, Jan.
