I believe upstream release 1.8.1 introduced change, that made it possible to read old /usr/lib/libmarc-charset-perl/Table. Am I missing something in current situation? By the way, I disagree about compability. If all we need to make everything good is just a binNMU, I'd rather not introduce any patches/hacks/compatibility layers/etc. By the way, it is sad that libmarc-charset-perl uses gdbm, not cdb. -- Note, that I send and fetch email in batch, once every 24 hours.
