| Dear maintainer,

|
| The libnsl-dev dependency has been temporarily dropped in the 2.37-15.1
| NMU, as part of the 64-bit time_t transition. This causes the xdr
| feature of r-base to be dropped, I am not sure it is something to care
| about.
|
| Therefore please either:
| - Add libtirpc-dev as build dependency
I'll do that. We don't have that much little vs big endian out there anymore
but it is a feature that was long supported so it should remain supported.
