Title:
  [MIR] libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl (libmail-dkim-perl dependency)

Status in libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [MIR] libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl (libmail-dkim-perl dependency)

  Package: libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl

  [Availability]
  The package libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl is already in Ubuntu universe.
  The package libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
  It currently builds and works for architectures:  amd64 (all)
  Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl

  [Rationale]
  The package libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl  is required in Ubuntu main for libmail-dkim-perl
  The package libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl  will not generally be useful for a large part of
  our user base, but is important/helpful still because is required as runtime dependency by libmail-dkim-perl
  that is already in main.

  libmail-dkim-perl it's a perl module to cryptographically identify the sender of email (implementing the new Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM)), used by spamassassin
  and amavisd-new. The following change added to libmail-dkim-perl makes it necessary to use libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl:

  1.20220520 2022-05-20 UTC
    + Change default algorithm in dkimsign.pl to sha-256
    + Use Getopt::Long::Descriptive in scripts for better command help

  That change have been there since Lunar, apparently.

  The package libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl is required in Ubuntu main
  as soon as possible, since libmail-dkim-perl depends on it and
  libmail-dkim-perl is already in main.

  [Security]
  No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past:
    - (0) https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl
    - (0) https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?q=&package=libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl
    - (0) https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl
  No `suid` or `sgid` binaries.
  No executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`.
  Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs.
  Package does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024).
  Package does not expose any external endpoints.
  Package does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software (filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...);
  It's a Perl module that handles command-line arguments with usage text
  Getopt::Long::Descriptive is a convenience wrapper for Getopt::Long, which
  allows one to easily define options in the same familiar way, while also
  supporting custom descriptions for program usage output.

  [Quality assurance - function/usage]
  The package works well right after install

  [Quality assurance - maintenance]
  The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and does
  not have too many, long-term & critical, open bugs:
     - Ubuntu (1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl/+bug
     - Debian (0) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl
     - Upstream's bug tracker (16) https://github.com/rjbs/Getopt-Long-Descriptive/issues
       + Upstream's repo last activity: https://github.com/rjbs/Getopt-Long-Descriptive
         - last commit: in main, Nov 21, 2023
         - Issues without answer: 6
         - Updated issue/PR: Nov 21, 2023
         - last fixed/closed/merged issue: Nov 21, 2023
         - last merged PR: Mar 13, 2021
  The package hasn't important/old open bugs on upstream.

  The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support.

  [Quality assurance - testing]
  The package runs a test suite on build time, if it fails
  it makes the build fail: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl/0.111-1/+build/25462675/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-lunar-amd64.libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl_0.111-1_BUILDING.txt.gz

     dh_auto_test
   make -j4 test TEST_VERBOSE=1
  make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
  PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 "/usr/bin/perl" "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-MTest::Harness" "-e" "undef *Test::Harness::Switches; test_harness(1, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.test_harness(1, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t

  The package runs an autopkgtest (via autodep8 using 'Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-perl' in d/control file - https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl/tree/debian/control#n6 -),
  that runs essentialy the above build-time test suite. It is currently passing on
  this list of architectures (amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, s390x) except i386: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/l/libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl

  The package does have failing autopkgtests tests right now, but since
  they always failed they are handled as "ignored failure", this is
  because the test depends on pkg-perl-autopkgtest package that is not
  build for i386 since focal.

  [Quality assurance - packaging]
  debian/watch is present and works for latest version, but it failed for --download-current-version.

  debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field : Debian Perl Group
  <pkg-perl-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org> (
  https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgetopt-long-descriptive-
  perl/tree/debian/control#n2)

  This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
    - recent build log of the package https://launchpadlibrarian.net/644863847/buildlog_ubuntu-lunar-amd64.libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl_0.111-1_BUILDING.txt.gz
    - full output from `lintian --pedantic` :

  This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
  This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies.

  The package will not be installed by default.

  Packaging and build is easy, link to debian/rules:
  https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgetopt-long-descriptive-
  perl/tree/debian/rules

  [UI standards]
  Application is not end-user facing (does not need translation).

  [Dependencies]
  There are further dependencies not yet in main. Listing then:

  libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl depends on:
    - libparams-validate-perl (depends, universe)
      MIR bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libparams-validate-perl/+bug/2046181
      + libscalar-list-utils-perl  (depends, universe)

  However, the modules provided by libscalar-list-utils-perl are provided by the libperl5.36 package too,
  although there is no Break/Replace/Provides in the d/control of perl about this.

  [Standards compliance]
  This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy (4.6.2)

  [Maintenance/Owner]
  Owning Team will be Ubuntu Server Team.
  Team is not yet, but will subscribe to the package before promotion.
  This does not use static builds.
  This does not use vendored code.
  This package is not rust based.

  A previous version of the package was successfully built during the
  most recent test rebuild : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/test-
  rebuild-20230830-mantic/+build/26597663/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-mantic-
  amd64.libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl_0.111-1_BUILDING.txt.gz

  [Background information]
  The Package description explains the package well.
  Upstream Name is CryptX .
  Link to upstream project https://metacpan.org/dist/CryptX

  This has been in the archive since at least 2013 (Karmic, 0.074-1).
  It was on main before (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl/+bug/1492055), but was demoted to universe in Jammy.
