While reading Simon Kainz's post [0] about DUCK challenge I found my name on the list of persons related to packages with broken URLs, libfile-sharedir-par-perl [1] in my case. So I took a look at its debian/control in the git repository and it's been already fixed since 2011. There's been no new upstream release since 2011 so those fixes never made it to the debian archive. Now I'm wondering whether in cases like this it makes sense to upload the latest changes to the benefit of all users, even there's been no update in the upstream code at all. I think that not updating the package makes a poor user experience in this case after all this time, but I'd like to hear what others feel about it.
