Hello everybody, see the email below for details (in particular the draft for the mass-filing bug report). Maybe we can fix some of these preemptively. I have already commited changes to last-align and gbrowse. A DD-list is included.

As such I think it's sufficient to file bugs directly. Here is my draft bug-report text: ---------- Source: FOO Version: FOO Severity: normal Dear maintainer, Package $FOO was found to contain uses of the 'rename' and/or 'prename' (which is an alias) command. This was previously implemented by a script added to the perl package by Debian, but there is now a maintained alternative in the 'rename' package. Please add the relevant Depends/Build-Depends on 'rename', to avoid breakage in your package when we remove the rename script from the perl package. Additionally, if you are currently using 'prename', please use 'rename' (which is handled by the alternatives mechanism) or file-rename, which is the new implementation. Thanks, Dominic Details of the use of (p)rename in your package follow: INSERT grep results --------- Any comments on this before I send these out? For reference, dd-list follows: Aaron M.
