Package: libparse-keyword-perl
Version: 0.09-1
Severity: serious
As pointed out by Jonas Smedegaard a month ago¹, this module is
deprecated upstream: the upstream homepage² explicitly states "DO NOT
USE!".
Jonas analysis lead him to conclude that we can, and should, remove
this package and its (few) reverse (build-)dependencies from Debian.
I agreed and AFAICT nobody challenged this reasoning.
Let's start by ensuring this package is not shipped in Bullseye,
thanks to this RC bug.
I'll file removal requests for ftpmaster.
