Changes: 
 perl (5.8.7-9ubuntu1) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * Merge new Debian version to get updated security fix and Sys::Syslog band
     aid.
   * Actually apply the two patches Adam added in 5.8.7-8ubuntu1.
 .
 perl (5.8.7-9) unstable; urgency=high
 .
   * SECURITY [CVE-2005-3962] (closes: #341542):
     + Apply upstream fixes to prevent buffer overflows in
       printf/sprintf caused by malicious format strings.
     + Update Sys::Syslog to 0.09, which only uses the message as a
       format string to sprintf when additional arguments are given.
 .
   * Remove -Dusemymalloc from perl-debug (added for #178243: to
     enable PERL_DEBUGGING_MSTATS), as this causes debugperl to break with
     compiled modules.  Closes: #337050, #342526).
 .
   * Skip Math::Complex tests 267 and 487, failing due to non-IEEE fp
     rounding rules in the kernel fp emulation.
