Package: libnet-perl
Version: 1:1.19-3
Severity: minor

libnet-ph-perl's popcon count seems significantly out of proportion to how
many Ph servers are left in the world, and I bet nearly all of those
installations are coming from libnet-perl's Recommends.  This Recommends
was added when that module (along with a couple of others) were split out
of libnet upstream, but that was in 2001.

Given that Ph as a protocol is fairly thoroughly obsolete at this point, I
recommend just dropping its mention in libnet-perl's Recommends.

No big deal, as it's not like libnet-ph-perl is a large package, but I
bet it's unused cruft on nearly every system on which it's installed.
