Copy the mediawiki-libravatar-0.2.0.phar file into your MediaWiki extensions/ directory and add the following to your LocalSettings.php:

require_once "$IP/extensions/mediawiki-libravatar-0.2.0.phar";

That's it, it works now. All dependencies are included in the .phar file.

If you get a white page, then you're probably running Suhosin.
