What is the difference between these two packages? They have the same
description.
In any case, to follow the standard naming conventions for Perl
packages, whichever of these is the real Net::DNS module should be
called libnet-dns-perl.

Again, this should be called libnet-whois-perl.

You should not upload packages that depend on libc5. The stable
release of Debian is based on libc6.

This should probably have a better name than "vrmllibc++".
