Hi

libcrypt-password-perl has not been update upstream since 2012, and
has open security issues (CVE-2026-16235, CVE-2026-6656).

So rather than providing libcrypt-password-perl in Debian forky (which
got freshly introduced), we might keep it out of testing (or maybe get
it removed completely)?

Gregor, what is your opinion here?

Regards,
Salvatore
