There was a ITP started in the summer this year to re-introduce a
updated php-mail-mimedecode package. But I guess Prachi Srivastava
 is needing a sponsor anyway.
If we can get a up2date package the lintian check would become valid for
buster and unstable again.

But for the Z-Push package upstream has made some modifications to the
copied usptream files and we had to set a lintian override anyway.

@Prachi
Do you need any help? What's the current state of your ITP? Do you need
a sponsor?

I'm not in the PHP ecosystem, alas. Can someone who does let us know the
modern equivalent?

(Marking as "moreinfo" to match)

Bug#843331: lintian: check for embedded-pear-module needs to be more granular for unstable/testing/stretch

[Carsten Schoenert]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.49
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

due the PHP7 transition at least the suggestion for using
php-mail-mimedecode for PEAR related code is wrong for testing/stretch
or above.

I discovered this issue while updating the d-push package which includes
modified files from PEAR. The following output is given for example:

  X: z-push-common: embedded-pear-module 
usr/share/z-push/include/mimeDecode.php please use php-mail-mimedecode

But php-mail-mimedecode was removed from testing on 02 May 2016

  https://tracker.debian.org/news/765539

This is due a ROM because of the PHP7 transition.

I don't know if there is a aquivalent package available after the PHP7
transition. If not this warning needs to be otherwise solved.

Regards
Carsten
