For me this is exactly the problem here: I'm not using
libimdb-film-perl and adopted it into the group some time ago due to
the Digest::SHA1 transition. I'm the only one in the Uploaders field
and did the last team uploads. So I'm not really knowing if it's
usefull or not. Thus my email to hear opinions on a possible removal.

Yes also might be true.
For me it's also okay to keep it in Team maintenance, and for jessie
try to let it migrate to testing and see how often we have to update
and then decide again before the freeze for jessie.
