You could also fork the package definition (ie. use a hand-maintained package file instead of packagist, but still refer to the upstream elastica repo in that file), that's less effort to maintain. OTOH unless they have a policy of keeping B/C with PHP 5.5, you'll probably have to fork the code sooner or later anyway.
