Bug#879733: Deprecated upstream; Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP is a replacement

[Damyan Ivanov]

Package: libemail-sender-transport-smtp-tls-perl
Version: 0.15-1
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream

Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP::TLS is deprecated upstream since 2013. 
Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP (part of libemail-sender-perl) works with and 
without SSL/TLS and is a drop-in replacement.

I think we should remove libemail-sender-transport-smtp-tls-perl from Debian.

 coccia:~$ dak rm -n -R -s sid -m 'ROM; deprecated upstream; drop-in replacement exists' libemail-sender-transport-smtp-tls-perl
 Will remove the following packages from sid:

 libemail-sender-transport-smtp-tls-perl |     0.15-1 | source, all

 Maintainer: Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>

 ------------------- Reason -------------------
 ROM; deprecated upstream; drop-in replacement exists
 ----------------------------------------------

 Checking reverse dependencies...
 No dependency problem found.

Filing a serious bug for now. If no one objects, I'll request removal in no 
less than two weeks time.
