Public bug reported:

Package: libclass-inspector-perl

[Availability]
The package libclass-inspector-perl  is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package libclass-inspector-perl  build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 (all)
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libclass-inspector-perl

[Rationale]
The package libclass-inspector-perl  is required in Ubuntu main for libfile-sharedir-perl.
The package libclass-inspector-perl  will not generally be useful for a large part of
our user base, but is important/helpful still because libfile-sharedir-perl requires it as a runtime dependecy (MIR bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfile-sharedir-perl/+bug/2039566)  and this, in turn, is required as runtime dependency by libmail-dmarc-perl
( libmail-dmarc-perl is in the MIR process here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmail-dmarc-perl/+bug/2023971 )

The package libclass-inspector-perl is required in Ubuntu main no later
than through the same scheduled requested for the libfile-sharedir-perl
and libmail-dmarc-perl promotion, since libfile-sharedir-perl depends on
it.

[Security]
No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past:
  - (0) https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=libclass-inspector-perl
  - (0) https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?q=&package=libclass-inspector-perl
  - (0) https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/libclass-inspector-perl
No `suid` or `sgid` binaries.
No executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`.
Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs.
Package does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024).
Package does not expose any external endpoints.
Package does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software (filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...);
It's a Perl module that provides information about classes.

[Quality assurance - function/usage]
The package works well right after install

[Quality assurance - maintenance]
The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and does
not have too many, long-term & critical, open bugs:
   - Ubuntu (0) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libclass-inspector-perl/+bug
   - Debian (0) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libclass-inspector-perl
   - Upstream's bug tracker (2) https://github.com/uperl/Class-Inspector/issues
     + Upstream's repo last activity: https://github.com/uperl/Class-Inspector
       - last commit: in main, Dec 16, 2022
       - Issues without answer: 1
       - Updated issue/PR: Sep 3, 2023
       - last fixed/closed/merged issue:  Mar 28, 2019
       - last merged PR: Dec 16, 2022
The package has not important/old open bugs on upstream.
The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support

[Quality assurance - testing]
The package runs a test suite on build time, if it fails
it makes the build fail: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/632286587/buildlog_ubuntu-lunar-amd64.libclass-inspector-perl_1.36-3_BUILDING.txt.gz :

    dh_auto_test
	make -j4 test TEST_VERBOSE=1
make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 "/usr/bin/perl" "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-MTest::Harness" "-e" "undef *Test::Harness::Switches; test_harness(1, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t

The package runs an autopkgtest (via autodep8 using 'Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-perl' in d/control file - https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libclass-inspector-perl/tree/debian/control#n7 -),
that runs essentialy the above build-time test suite. It is currently passing on
this list of architectures (amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x), except on i386: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/l/libclass-inspector-perl

The package does have failing autopkgtests tests right now, but since
they always failed they are handled as "ignored failure", this is
because the test depends on pkg-perl-autopkgtest package that is not
build for i386 since focal.

[Quality assurance - packaging]
debian/watch is present and works.

debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field : Debian Perl Group
