Bug#879734: deprecated upstream; drop-in replacement exists

[Damyan Ivanov <dmn@debian.org>]

Package: libemail-sender-transport-smtps-perl
Version: 0.03-1
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream

Email::Sender::Transport::SMTPS is deprecated upstream¹. 
Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP (part of libemail-sender-perl) can work with and 
without SSL/TLS and is a drop-in replacement.

I think we should remove libemail-sender-transport-smtps-perl from Debian.

  Will remove the following packages from sid:

  ------------------- Reason -------------------
  ROM; deprecated upstream; drop-in replacement exists
  ----------------------------------------------

  Checking reverse dependencies...
  No dependency problem found.

Filing a serious bug for now. I plan to request removal in no less than two
weeks time if no one objects.
