I would declare the required dependency on PEAR properly within the
package.xml so people that install it using pyrus or some other method
get all the necessary files — OR — change it to extend Exception, and
begin following the newer (PEAR2) Exception standards (without
namespaces of course).

I've no problem with packages following the PEAR2 standards.

In my projects I manually edit the HTTP/Request2/Exception.php file
because I don't care to depend on all of PEAR. Typical example -
