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:

https://salsa.debian.org/phpmyadmin-team

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.
