Source: libfcgi-perl Version: 0.79-1 Severity: serious Justification: missing source
I've looked into libfcgi-perl and noticed that the macro FCGI_COMMON_CHECKS used in configure.in misses source code in the libfcgi-perl package. I've looked in the archive and it seems that there is another copy of this macro in another package that might do here: https://sources.debian.org/src/libfcgi/2.4.0-10/acinclude.m4/?hl=3#L3 However, libfcgi-perl does not depend on that package in anyway, so it definitely doesn't use it and it also does not prevent removal of libfcgi, which is required for honouring DFSG (if that copy is indeed the relevant source). Therefore, a bug of severity serious is appropriate in my opinion. A simple way out of this mess would be adding it to the debian directory. That's still not nice as that prevents running autoreconf and that prevents us from using dh_auto_configure, but it solves the rc-ness part. Another solution could be adding the macro to the libfcgi-dev binary package and adding it as an (unused) build dependency. Doing so would ensure that the source code for configure is available in the archive. A better solution would likely be solving #841078 although doing so is more involved. Helmut
