PHP packaging question: pear or not pear ?

There is a project I would like to package: this is
http://php-yubico.googlecode.com/. This project is using PEAR support
and assumes a PEAR installation (in the Auth subdirectory), but it is
NOT available from the PEAR repository at http://pear.php.net/.

Should I package it as pear package (i.e.: php-pear-Auth-Yubico) and
keep the intended installation location, or should I call it php-yubico
and relocate the modules under /usr/share/php with a php-pear
requirement ? The PHP packaging guidelines are not very clear for this
particular case.

Thanks for your advices.
