= Getting started

A Composer package using pkg-php-tools is initialized using dh_make (with dh7 rule
format, now default). Usual cleaning is done (replacing all boilerplate). Then
debian/control and debian/rules are edited as below (example with package
php-foo). Files should be installed using the standard debian/install file.

That's it!

debian/rules:
-------------
<<<---
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
	dh $@ --with phpcomposer
--->>>

debian/control:
