Yes, the result of lacking manpower. libsgmls-perl and
libxml-parser-perl are orphaned. I just care about libxml-encoding-perl
and I already saw, that there is a new release.

I agree to a move to the pkg-perl. All I request is, that the
debian-xml-sgml maintainer address is put into Uploaders and that the
packages are moved into a subversion tree. I would like to be added to
the pkg-perl team (dleidert-guest).

Do you need the full SVN dump of libxml-encoding-perl (or can you create
it yourself?)? The others are still in CVS IIRC.
