Ansgar already opened a bugreport on this at [1]. Joey Hess too already pointed out the deprecation of Digest::SHA1 [2]. The functionality of Digest::SHA1 is also provided by Digest::SHA. [1] http://bugs.debian.org/594273 [2] http://bugs.debian.org/591091 We can try now to start with this. The following could be a possible procedure/outline in two steps (any comments would be welcome!): 1. Investigate the Debian Perl Group packages, and forward patches to upstream authors. 2. After patches for the Perl modules are sent upstream announce #594273 on debian-devel for possible MBF and help out where possible to fix the packages (severity wishlist or normal) If we get so far, that all packages could be fixed, remove libdigest-sha1-perl from Debian archive.
