Public bug reported:

[Availability]

libregexp-assemble-perl is already available in Universe and is
architecture-independent, therefore available for all supported
architectures.

[Rationale]

libregexp-assemble-perl is used by the debian/license-miner script in
the Ghostscript package which is run at build time. It separates
copyright/license data from binary files (images, fonts, ...) and drops
them in separate text files so that the licensecheck utility of the
devscripts package can find all copyrights and licenses of the
Ghostscript upstream source. So this package is needed by the current
ghostscript package as synced from Debian.

[Security]

No open or solved security issues or CVEs found.

This is a standard Perl library package consisting of only Perl code and
documentation packaged in the standard way for Perl libraries. There is
no SUID, SGID, /usr/sbin/*, daemons, does not listen on any port.

[Quality assurance]

Simple Perl library package with command line utility, no GUI, contains
only the usual *.pm file. Documented by man pages.

No debconf questions asked during install.

No open Ubuntu bugs.

Package is very small and simple and seems to work as intended.
Therefore there wer no new upstream releases for longer time.

watch file is included.

[Dependencies]

Nothing special, only standard build tools which are in Main.

[Standards compliance]

Library package packaged following the standards for Perl libraries. no
GUI. man pages included.

[Maintenance]

Current package upstream version is the actually current upstream
version. There was no new upstream release for some time now.

[Background information]

Package is manipulating regular expressions in Perl scripts. It is used
by the build process of the Ghostscript package.
