Debpear will download, create, and build a Debian package out of the pear package that you selected, and eventually install it in your system. . The goal of debpear isn't to replace the real work of a Debian maintainer, but rather to allow its users to quickly build and install a PEAR package in a clean, Debian way, when this PEAR package doesn't exist in Debian yet.
