Problem/Motivation

The required php version defined on composer.json is not valid
Current declaration:

require": {
    "php": ">5.4.4-13",

In order to reproduce:

$ composer validate

The following error is thrown:

./composer.json is invalid, the following errors/warnings were found:
require.php : invalid version constraint (Could not parse version constraint >5.4.4-13: Invalid version string "5.4.4-13")

Proposed resolution

Not sure which ver should be the set, but since php must be 5.4.5 or greater something like this may work

require": {
    "php": ">=5.4.5",

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Fixing metadata. Note that this was changed explicitly in #2267551: [meta] Deal with PHP requirement vs. Debian PHP version numbering to account for Debian.

:( so i guess we make it 5.4.5 and say you cant install D8 on debian wheezy with composer.
or an upstream fix

Let's do this - the debian edge case can be sorted out if we get an upstream fix.

Agreed. We can track the upstream issue on the critical.
