Hi Noah,

libmail-dmarc-perl has yet to be included in an Ubuntu release because its
build-time tests depend on network access.  This is a fairly reasonable
thing to want to do in this package, to validate real-world DNS entries.
However, it falls afoul of Launchpad's network policy, and is also AIUI a
violation of Policy 4.9.  It also represents an external dependency for the
package, which can result in regressions in buildability if in the future
the referenced domains change their DNS settings.

I've applied the attached (very dirty) patch to libmail-dmarc-perl in
Ubuntu, which is sufficient to let the package build in Launchpad.  Having
looked at some of the surrounding tests, I'm not sure this would let the
package build in a completely offline environment - I think Launchpad
provides name resolution of a limited subset of domains, so some tests which
pass in Launchpad may also fail when offline.

Thanks for considering,
