Bug#304709: Status of libafs-perl

thanks

I have a preliminary package for this done that works on i386, but the
OpenAFS package currently doesn't provide PIC libraries.  That means that
right now this module cannot be built properly for Debian, as non-PIC
shared objects simply won't work on some architectures.

My intention is to find a way to get PIC libraries from the OpenAFS
packages in Debian, which would be useful for other reasons as well, but
that's likely to take a while.

I'm leaving this ITP open, since I do intend to package this and since I
don't think anyone else will be farther along than I am and should contact
me (also as co-maintainer of OpenAFS) before working further on it, but
this is likely to take a while.
