PHP really has a huge dependency tree (2 ssl libs, 3 databases, ...)
For now we can just ignore these failures and let the author &
maintainer do the compile tests
(on top of the manual review)

Exactly, without "devel" packages we need to build every dependencies

My vision of Travis is to give feedback to PR author as fast as
possible for all the common/recurring problems,
so even if it works only 99% of the time it's still a big win IMO
