Package: libconvert-uulib-perl
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: important
libconvert-uulib-perl includes a copy of uulib since version 1.0-1:
libconvert-uulib-perl (1.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
[...]
* Switch back to linking statically against self-provided uulib source
(instead of linking against libuu-dev), and drop build-dependence on
uulib-dev: Included uulib is actually a fork with valuable enhancements
compared to uulib in uudeview. This closes: Bug#223758. Keep patches to
link against uulib-dev, just in case...
[...]
The included library seems to be based on uulib 0.5.20 [1], though
doc/HISTORY still mentions 0.5.18.
It should use the library from libuu-dev instead.
Also, the documentation for uulib, doc/library.pdf, comes without source[2].

Ansgar

newer/other version/
