Bug#860102: libjson-rpc-perl: package has a pre-1.00 description: works with JSON-RPC 2.0, not 1.1

[Kirill Bogdanov]

Package: libjson-rpc-perl
Version: 1.06-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

recently I tried to remember what Debian package is corresponding to a
JSON::RPC module from metacpan,
I used apt-cache search for a json (grep rpc, grep perl), yet none of
the descriptions made sense. I know that this Perl module
supports JSON-RPC 2.0 from 2001 and on, yet the only one with 2.0 in
description was libjson-rpc2-perl, which apt-file proved
a very different module. libjson-rpc-perl on the other hand turned out
to be JSON::RPC despite the wrong description
"Perl implementation of JSON-RPC 1.1 protocol" - I belive that one
comes straight from pre-2001 versions.

Note: check homepage or changelog to see the transition to JSON-RPC
2.0 and obsoletion of 1.1 support

Since the module provides both 2.0 and 1.1 (legacy, not supported),
the description should be something like
"Perl implementation of JSON-RPC 2.0 and 1.1 protocols"
