Hi,
I received a bugreport that faxrunqd uses getops.pl, whereas modern
perl should use Getopt::Long or Getopt::Std.
Gert, what's your opinion on that? Do you want to take Getopt::* in
mgetty?

Subject: Bug#659425: mgetty-fax: Uses perl4 corelibs without Depends
Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2012 23:50:10 +0000
Package: mgetty-fax
Version: 1.1.36-1.6
Severity: normal
User: debian-***@lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl4-corelibs
Dear maintainer,
This package currently uses one or more deprecated perl 4 era packages,
as shown on the lintian report[1]:
usr/sbin/faxrunqd:102 getopts.pl
As detailed at [2] we would like you to either add a dependency on
libperl4-corelibs-perl | perl (<< 5.12.3-7)
or (ideally) to replace their use with more modern equivalents.
We'd like to have this in place for wheezy, so that we can follow
cleanly the upstream deprecation cycle in wheezy+1.
If you prefer, I will NMU your package with the dependency added.
The wiki page [2] has references (taken from the source of the libraries
in question) for the recommended replacement libraries.
Thanks,
Dominic.
