Bug#803542: trnascan-se_1.3.1+dfsg-1_amd64.changes REJECTED

[Afif Elghraoui <afif@ghraoui.name>]

Hi, Andreas,
I looked to see if there was some way to get around this problem. I
found an apparently free implementation of the dbmalloc interface as
part of mpatrol [1], but mpatrol is no longer in Debian [2] and it's
probably not sensible to try to reintroduce it.

I might also suggest to upstream to consider alternative projects that
provide similar functionality [3], but development of this software is
not particularly active (though I think the package itself is still
useful), so I do not think upstream will be handling this issue soon.

I will still contact them to see if they want to do anything about it.
May I suggest that we upload the package to non-free in the meantime?

Thanks and regards
Afif
