Status in “libmediawiki-perl” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: libmediawiki-perl

Please remove libmediawiki-perl from maverick (universe).

It was already removed from Debian [1] and the same reasons for the removal apply to Ubuntu:
 · No upstream.
 · libmediawiki-api-perl provides the same functionality, but uses a proper API instead of fragile screen scraping.

In addition uploading a fix for #570048 to Karmic/Lucid would mean that it would have a higher version there than in Maverick.
