Reading the CPAN Ratings I found out that Net::Amazon::S3
has many more dependencies (some huge ones, like Moose and
XML::LibXML) than Amazon::S3.

In my opinion, that difference should justify that we also
package Amazon::S3 for Debian since RT depends on it.

On the other side, https://github.com/tima/perl-amazon-s3
hasn't received any changes since 2009 and the CPAN RT queue
for Amazon::S3 has been unattended for several years too.
So it seems that Amazon::S3 is actually unmaintained.

FWIW, https://github.com/rustyconover/net-amazon-s3 hasn't
got any changes in more than a year either (9 issues and
3 pull requests open). I may be wrong, but I think that,
in terms of maintainership, there's no difference between
the two at this moment.

Thus, unless there's any strong opinion against it, I'll
start packaging Amazon::S3 in a few days so we can have
all RT 4.4 deps ready.

Cheers!
Alex
