The package dependencies (list). Instead of a textarea could it show a checkboxes list of all the packages since they are in the database, right ? Having a textarea is just asking for typos.

Seeing that they can also be external libs, it hink there should be two lists. One as pear packages dependencies where you check the packages, and a free textarea for anything else. Does that make sense ?

I think, these solutions are a bit ugly. If we but on checkboxes listing the packages, there will be a list of up to 250 checkboxes. A bit much I think. IMHO the textarea only solution is fine, because it's free to enter comments (as I did with Net_SMS). Typos do not matter in this case, because the dependency list is not processed anywhere and only printed out on the website.
