This one is awaiting an upstream fix (probably coming with 0.6).

Looks like Ralf took care of this one.

This is dead upstream (the code is there, but it doesn't do anything and
is marked as deprecated) and should be killed off. I've updated
perl-Fedora-Bugzilla to the latest version which no longer depends on it.

/me wonders where cweyl went... :(

Bit rotted. If nothing deps on it, I say drop it.

Debian dropped this package, I vote we also do the same.
