Hello dear maintainer(s),

the Debian LTS team would like to fix the security issues which are
currently open in the Wheezy version of libsys-syslog-perl:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2016-1238

Would you like to take care of this yourself?

If yes, please follow the workflow we have defined here:
https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Development

If that workflow is a burden to you, feel free to just prepare an
updated source package and send it to debian-lts at lists.debian.org
(via a debdiff, or with an URL pointing to the source package,
or even with a pointer to your packaging repository), and the members
of the LTS team will take care of the rest. Indicate clearly whether you
have tested the updated package or not.

If you don't want to take care of this update, it's not a problem, we
will do our best with your package. Just let us know whether you would
like to review and/or test the updated package before it gets released.

Thank you very much.

Jonas Meurer,
  on behalf of the Debian LTS team.

PS: A member of the LTS team might start working on this update at
any point in time. You can verify whether someone is registered
on this update in this file:

PPS: Dominic Hargreaves of the pkg-perl team already uploaded a fixed
libsys-syslog-perl 0.33 to jessie-security. The fix is simple and can be
overtaken for 0.29 in wheezy. I have already prepared packages. So if
you don't object, I could do the upload.
