Source: libgrokj2k
Version: 10.0.5-1
User: helm...@debian.org
Usertags: libcrypt-libperll-dev

libgrokj2k embeds a Perl interpreter in ./src/lib/codec/common/exif.cpp. 
The development package required for doing so is libperl-dev. It happens 
to work by chance now, but as we are looking into removing libcrypt-dev 
from the build-essential package set[1], libgrokj2k will fail to build 
from source if it lacks this dependency. The actual dropping of 
libcrypt-dev from build-essential is not going to happen during the 
trixie freeze but some months into the forky cycle. The addition of 
libperl-dev to Build-Depends is safe for inclusion into trixie, but it 
does not warrant an upload of its own.
