Re: libdbd-sqlite-perl and libdbd-sqlite2-perl

 I'm Cc'ing the maintainers of related packages to get them in the loop.

 I have done this and the packages are available at

    http://people.debian.org/~mmagallo/perl/sqlite/

 Please, please, please review this and tell me of any fsck ups.  I have
 tested installing and deinstalling this stuff here and it works as I
 explained before.

 I have changed the maintainer to DPG and added Krzysztof and myself as
 uploaders.  Beyond that I tried not to introduce any other changes to
 the packages.

 Can I get added to the pkg-perl group in Alioth, please?  I'd like to
 commit this to SVN as a first step.

 libdbd-sqlite3-perl might or might not stall at ftp-master, so the plan
 is to upload that first and wait until it makes its way to the archive.

 I think it would be wise to ask for libdbd-sqlite-perl to be removed
 from testing and leave it in unstable for a while to give people the
 chance to upgrade.  This means the affected packages need to migrate to
 libdbd-sqlite2-perl or libdbd-sqlite3-perl, the later being
 preferrable but not mandatory.

 All that said, this *needs* to happen before sarge gets released,
 whenever higher spirits decide for that to happen.

 Comments?
