[Rationale]
- The package log4cplus is required in Ubuntu main as a dependency of isc-kea, which is being promoted as part of LP: #2002861.
- The package log4cplus will generally be useful for a large part of our user base as an isc-kea dependency.
- The package log4cplus is required in Ubuntu main no before or along with the isc-kea promotion, whose time constraints are described in LP: #2002861.

[Security]

- no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
- no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
- Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs
- Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024)

[Quality assurance - function/usage]

  - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=log4cplus
- 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/632298606/buildlog_ubuntu-lunar-amd64.log4cplus_2.0.8-1_BUILDING.txt.gz
- The package does not run an autopkgtest because it only provides a runtime library. The server team will work into having the package to run its test suite againts the installed package with autopkgtest.
