Hi,
Just a heads up - not sure if you are aware, but I noticed that there is no one actively maintaining the phpmyadmin Debian package at the moment - the packaged version in Debian is currently 4.6.6.
https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=phpmyadmin&show_installe...
Due to this bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=916310
... As it stands, phpmyadmin will be dropped from Debian, and likely from Ubuntu too in the next release (unless the Ubuntu team adopt it explicitly).
Do you know if there's anyone available to maintain it during the Debian 10 release lifetime? Once the initial work to update the Debian package to 4.8.4 is done, that means pushing security updates, and addressing Debian bug reports whilst Debian 10 is a stable release.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=phpmyadmin;dist=unstable
FWIW, the version of PHP currently included with Debian 10 is 7.3.1.
Unfortunately I'm not really in a position to take this on myself, as I haven't touched any php for > 5 years now - I noticed this because someone happened to ask me to check which version of phpmyadmin will be shipping in Debian 10!
Cheers,
Tim.

I'm current maintainer of the Debian package and indeed I didn't find time to perform upgrade to modern version requiring packaging of several composer dependencies. I've actually announced this problem in 2017:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=879741
There was some initial work done on the packaging, but it's not yet completed, see:

I have capacity to help with the maintenance, but I do not have time to do the initial packaging of the new dependencies. Anyway it's now getting too late to get phpMyAdmin into Debian 10, given that freeze for new packages is 2019-02-12.
