This looks strange. libnet-dns-perl Depends: libdigest-hmac-perl and is
currently uninstallable in unstable. Last upload of libnet-dns-perl is
from 2007-07-01 (new upstream).

libdigest-hmac-perl is also Suggest:-ed by several packages


I see no traces of dependencies on libdigest-md2-perl.


libunicode-map8-perl is depended on by libunicode-maputf8-perl
(DPG-maintained) and Suggested by libxml-twig-perl (bartm)


AFAICS, libdigest-hmac-perl and libunicode-map8-perl are not provided by
any other package.
I propose to move libdigest-md2-perl to attic and re-introduce
libunicode-map8-perl and libdigest-hmac-perl to the archive.

Opinions?
