Bug#578691: libmediawiki-perl: Security update of mediawiki will break login API

[Ansgar Burchardt]

Hi,

the planned security update for mediawiki/1.12.0-2lenny5 will break
libmediawiki-perl: the Perl module will no longer be able to log in [1].
I prepared a patch for this problem (attached).

I tested the modified version and it is able to log in to both the new
and old version of mediawiki: it only uses the login token if required.
See the bug report for a simple script to test this.

Please tell us when we should go ahead and upload the package or when
you need more information.

Regards,
Ansgar
