But, as I said, broken.
Lot of component are missing.
And they release all component to each new version, whatever they have
changed or not...

Check the new archive.
   $ tar tf PHPUnit-4.0.6.tgz
   package.xml
   PHPUnit-4.0.6/LICENSE
   PHPUnit-4.0.6/README.md
   PHPUnit-4.0.6/phpunit.phar
   PHPUnit-4.0.6/phpunit.bat
   package.sig
Only a big Phar. No more dependency, everything bundled.
Nothing usable for downstream.

Well, horde dev already have to bundled code from non-pear package...
- PHP-CSS-Parser in Horde_Css_Parser
- SabreDAV in Horde_Dav

Such stuff shouldn't have to be managed by horde dev, and give
downstream more work (to unbundle)
