Hello release folks! Hereby I am kindly requesting to unblock libuser-simple-perl 1.42 (testing has 1.40 now), though I am not a maintainer of this package. 1.42 already has needed 10 days in unstable.
Diff contains one-character built-in documentation fix and the fix for important security flaw [1]. It would be good to have it in Lenny. Diff is very small and attached for convenience.
