Ummm... I think we have two modules derived from the same original source and with similar functionality - I maintain libtext-roman-perl since 25-apr-2003. It seems like Roman was abandoned upstream, adopted and repackaged as Text::Roman - it is even almost-documented: From Text::Roman's README: WARNING Be advised that whilst this release supports the old interface, it is now considered deprecated. Please consult docs before using! I packaged it because another of my packages (libpdf-report-perl) depends on it. Now, I would suggest removing one of them, but: $ apt-cache rdepends libtext-roman-perl libroman-perl libtext-roman-perl Reverse Depends: libpdf-report-perl libroman-perl Reverse Depends: debiandoc-sgml They are both depended on by other packages (yes, one of them by mine). Now, being the changes so small, and being Text::Roman a rewrite of Roman, I would suggest dropping Roman. Ardo, you are currently the maintainer of debiandoc-sgml - Do you intend on keeping that one? If so, would you accept if I patched it to use Text::Roman? It is quite a trivial operation.
