Source: cracklib2
Version: 2.9.6-3
Severity: important

cracklib2 fails to cross build from source, because the cross building
support was removed in the most recent upload. It did break python3.8,
because 3.8 dropped an "m" after _sysconfigdata_. I understand that
python's cross build APIs are less than ideal, but cracklib2 is relevant
to bootstrapping and thus needs to support cross building. Here is a
patch to add the support back in a way that is compatible with 3.8.
