There was a ITP started in the summer this year to re-introduce a
updated php-mail-mimedecode package. But I guess Prachi Srivastava
<prachi@swecha.net> is needing a sponsor anyway.
If we can get a up2date package the lintian check would become valid for
buster and unstable again.

But for the Z-Push package upstream has made some modifications to the
copied usptream files and we had to set a lintian override anyway.

@Prachi
Do you need any help? What's the current state of your ITP? Do you need
a sponsor?
