I've now tagged them all (except the dh-make-perl and license-reconcile ones) as "upstream" [0] as I think, as Salvatore wrote earlier, that they should be fixed upstream -- so everyone can benefit from the fix and we don't have to carry a dozen patches (and maybe have to deal with cornercase issues ourselves). Thinking about upstream, I had another idea: If Email-Address is unmaintained on the CPAN, you could take it over (request co-maint) and then - change Email::Address to a wrapper around Email::Address::XS; - or remove the Email-Address distro and move the Email::Address module, again changed to a wrapper, into the Email-Address-XS distribution; - or, maybe least controversial, improve Email::Address to load Email::Address::XS if it's installed. In that case we could in Debian just add a dependency on libemail-address-xs-perl to libemail-address-perl. If this is not viable, I suggest that you file bugs / issues with patches against these CPAN distributions and try to get them to switch first. Cheers, gregor [0] Don't know if we need to usertag them as well as suggested by Salvatore. -- .''`. https://info.comodo.priv.at -- Debian Developer https://www.debian.org : :' : OpenPGP fingerprint D1E1 316E 93A7 60A8 104D 85FA BB3A 6801 8649 AA06 `. `' Member VIBE!AT & SPI Inc. -- Supporter Free Software Foundation Europe `- NP: Rolling Stones: You Can't Always Get What You Want - Essen 1
