Packages with 5+ years of pending changes

[Mario Lang]

Hi.

A quick look at duck.debian.net revealed that a lot
of the URL check failures (roughly 700) are due to packages
From pkg-perl.  While looking at a few samples, I found some
packages which had already fixed Vcs-* fields in the git repo but were
never uploaded, still UNRELEASED.  Some of the dates I saw were very old
though, so I thought I'd generate a list of pkg-perl repos which are
UNRELEASED (possibly carrying pending fixes) with a rather old change
date.  It turns out that there are 107 packages that have a change date
of 5+ years ago and are still UNRELEASED.

I am not familiar enough with practices in pkg-perl currently to really
be of help right now, except for generating this list.  It is probably a
good starting point for anyone interested in QA.  If you have some
documentation about how you usually want things done in pkg-perl, please point me at
it, I am interested to tackle some of these myself once I know enough
about how pkg-perl works.

Here is the list, sorted by date.  The actual list of packages with
UNRELEASED changes is much longer, I trimmed this one to avoid flooding you.  If
you are interested in the full list, get it from
git.debian.org:~mlang/pp/output.sorted
