Yeah I hadn't realized how many packages it was when I did the first few.
Certainly for Squeeze I do consider these actual FTBFS bugs for those
25 or so packages.

I am trying to avoid perl. :) But so many things build depend on it
and it is pretty handy.

Hmm. Well maybe I should. Nothing gets things done faster than doing
them yourself. Usually. :)

Just a side note. Not perl's fault, just another surprising place where
Lenny packages fail to build. Then of course there is the stupid
sbuild/schroot issue where perl fails to build due to failing the
tilde test. I haven't found a solution to that yet. I don't think it is perl's fault, although it seems the schroot/sbuild developers think
it is a stupid test to do since the thing that breaks the perl tilde
test is meant to make the sbuild safer and more rebust.

I am not a DD, so I can't adopt anything.
