Package: collectd
Version: 5.12.0-8
Severity: serious
Justification: rc policy: "packages must be buildable within the same release"

collectd build-depends on liboping-dev, which is rc buggy and was removed from
testing recently in an attempt to finish off the perl transition. This makes
collectd rc buggy in testing.

Potential soloutions (in descending order of preference)

1. Fix liboping, it seems there is a patch available but there has been no
   maintainer response for months and I won't NMU myself because I have no
   idea how to test it.
2. Disable liboping support in collectd (the fact that the runtime
   relationship is only a reccomends makes me suspect that this relates
   to optional functionality).
