Bug#336478: RFA: libkpathsea-perl

[Julian Gilbey <jdg@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp

I really don't have the interest at the moment to maintain this
package.  In the days when fonts were being generated regularly and
machines were slower, I had hoped that this would provide a faster
and, eventually, more secure way of doing things.  However, it seems
that a better way to do things more securely would be simply to have a
daemon running mktex* on demand.  I haven't used this package myself
now in a while, there were obscure bugs that I couldn't fix and I
haven't been keeping up with the changes in SWIG, Perl and of course
the mktex* scripts.

So if anyone is interested in taking over this Perl interface to the
kpathsea library, please adopt this package!

If it's not adopted by the time libkpathsea3 is dropped from the
distro, I will ask for its removal from the archive.
