The purpose of these tests is not *only* to check that MIME-Version is
set or not set, or set on line 27 vs. set on line 31.
So, I think it does make sense to update the reference files in the
test suite so that they match the expected behaviour of this module on
current Debian testing/sid (due to changes in a dependency), and the
resulting updated test suite will still be relevant to catch other
bugs or other future build failures caused by other changes in other
dependencies :]
So, I'd say go ahead.
Besides, I'm going to ping rjbs on RT#35979 so that our patch against
MIME-Lite, that we've been shipping in testing/sid for 10 months
without any complain so far, gets a chance to be merged upstream.
So, hopefully the patch that will update the test suite to fix the bug
at hand will be short-lived as a purely Debian one, and can be
upstreamed too soon! :)
Stefan, what do you think? Shall we go ahead and (with a few Debian
Perl Group members here at DebCamp) do a (non-maintainer) upload of
libmime-lite-html-perl with the suggested changes to fix that RC bug?
