Re: HTML::Munger is gone from CPAN
Jonas:
I mentioned this, but I don't think we should maintain it under our
group. If someone else is interested in maintaining it, I would
suggest it be maintained as a native package.
IMO if the software is unmaintained upstream, it should be removed
from Debian, unless there is a large and established user base (this
does not look to be the case).
Cheers,
Jonathan
