As Scott pointed out, it does. But as it is a new package, it takes a little
longer to get it into the distribution.

libmime-perl is a small and simple package which I built when I needed the
functionality at my Debian system at work. I haven't upgraded the package
since.
libmime-base64-perl is a new package. I sent email to its maintainer about
how and why it is bigger/better/a possible replacement for mine, but I have
yet to hear from him. Michael ?
We should sort this out between the respective perl libs maintainers.
