Bug#538920: libhtml-prototype-perl: embedded copies of prototype and scriptaculous JavaScript libraries

[Ansgar Burchardt]

Package: libhtml-prototype-perl
Version: 1.48-2
Severity: normal

HTML-Prototype contains embedded copies of Prototype (libjs-prototype)
and scriptaculous (libjs-scriptaculous).  Both are older that the
versions provided by the Debian packages.

There's an upstream bug report [1] asking to include a more recent version
of the libraries, but nothing has been done yet.  It seems upstream does
not have time to maintain the module any longer, the Catalyst team
recommends not using HTML::Prototype any longer:

    Catalyst has considered HTML::Prototype a "we recommend you don't
    use this" for a couple of years now.
