Title:
  [MIR] libset-intspan-perl

Status in libset-intspan-perl package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Availability]
  The package libset-intspan-perl is already in Ubuntu universe.
  The package libset-intspan-perl builds for the architectures it is designed to work on.
  It currently builds and works for architectures: <all> (perl package)
  Link to package [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libset-intspan-perl|libset-intspan-perl]]

  [Rationale]
   - The package libset-intspan-perl is required in Ubuntu main for libstring-copyright-perl (dependency of licensecheck)
   - The package libset-intspan-perl will not generally be useful for a large part of our user base, but is important/helpful still because it comes as a requirement for licensecheck.
   - The package libset-intspan-perl is a new runtime dependency of package libstring-copyright-perl that we already support (as a dependency of licensecheck)

  [Security]
   - No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past

   - no `suid` or `sgid` binaries (it's a Perl library)
   - no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
   - Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs
   - Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024)
   - Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software
     (filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...)

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

      $ apt install libset-intspan-perl
      $ perl -e 'use Set::IntSpan'
      $ echo $?
      > 0

  [Quality assurance - maintenance]
   - The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and has not too many and long term critical bugs open
     - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libset-intspan-perl/+bug
     - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libset-intspan-perl
   - 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, link to build log:
     [[https://launchpadlibrarian.net/579091575/buildlog_ubuntu-jammy-amd64.libset-intspan-perl_1.19-2_BUILDING.txt.gz|build-logs]]

   - The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on
     this amd64 list of architectures, link to test logs:
     [[https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-jammy/jammy/amd64/libs/libset-intspan-perl/20220108_062845_12f04@/log.gz|autopkgtest-logs]]

   - The package does have no failing autopkgtests right now

  [Quality assurance - packaging]
   - debian/watch is present and works

   - This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
   - The packaging was old but the Debian maintainers kindly accepted to roll out
     a new version in Debian unstable with patches to the packaging from the last few years.
   - Output to recent lintian run

      Running lintian...
      E: libset-intspan-perl changes: bad-distribution-in-changes-file jammy
      W: libset-intspan-perl: changelog-distribution-does-not-match-changes-file (unstable != jammy)
      W: libset-intspan-perl changes: distribution-and-changes-mismatch jammy unstable
      W: libset-intspan-perl source: newer-standards-version 4.6.0 (current is 4.5.1)
      
      I: Lintian run was successful.

   - Lintian overrides are not present

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

   - The package will be installed by default, but does not ask debconf
     questions higher than medium

   - Packaging and build is easy, content of d/rules:

      #!/usr/bin/make -f

      %:                                                            
              dh $@

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

  [Dependencies]
   - No further depends or recommends dependencies that are not yet in main

  [Standards compliance]
   - This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy

  [Maintenance/Owner]
   - Owning Team will be Foundations 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

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