[Bug 1980662] Re: [MIR] lib*-perl for lintian 2.115

[Graham Inggs]

[Availability]
The package libwww-mechanize-perl is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package libwww-mechanize-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/libwww-mechanize-perl

[Rationale]
The package libwww-mechanize-perl is required in Ubuntu main for lintian
The package libwww-mechanize-perl will not generally be useful for a large part of
our user base, but is important/helpful still because
 - The package libwww-mechanize-perl is a new runtime dependency of package lintian that
   we already support
 - The package libwww-mechanize-perl is required in Ubuntu main no later than 2022-08-25
   due to Kinetic Feature Freeze

[Security]
 - No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
 - 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)
 - 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 - it is a library

[Quality assurance - maintenance]
 - 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://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libwww-mechanize-perl/2.14-2/+build/24292284
 - The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on
   amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x, link to test logs
   https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/libwww-mechanize-perl
 - The package does have not failing autopkgtests right now

[Quality assurance - packaging]
 - debian/watch is present and works
 - debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field
 - This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
   one dubious error https://udd.debian.org/lintian/?packages=libwww-mechanize-perl
   Lintian complains about missing source of an HTML test file (triggered by long line length)
 - Please link to a recent build log of the package
   https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libwww-mechanize-perl/2.14-2/+build/24292284
 - Full output of `lintian --pedantic`
   E: libwww-mechanize-perl changes: bad-distribution-in-changes-file unstable
   E: libwww-mechanize-perl source: source-is-missing [t/google.html]
   P: libwww-mechanize-perl source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file 1974 > 512 [t/google.html:13]
 - Lintian overrides are present, but ok because although the package is a library it includes a handy application
 - 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 d/rules
   https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/libwww-mechanize-perl/-/blob/master/debian/rules

[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 Ubuntu Foundations
 - Team is not yet, but will subscribe to the package before promotion
 - This does not use static builds
 - This does not use vendored code
 - The package has been built in the archive more recently than the last
   test rebuild

[Background information]
The Package description explains the package well
Upstream Name is WWW-Mechanize
Link to upstream project
https://metacpan.org/dist/WWW-Mechanize
Package is maintained by Debian Perl Group
