Hello, please add "perl-xs-dev" to Build-Depends. The package builds a Perl extension module. The perl-xs-dev virtual package ensures that the functionality for building Perl extension modules is available. For the time being, this may work as is, but packages lacking this dependency are known to fail to cross build. There also is an effort[1] to drop libcrypt-dev from the build-essential package set. This will not happen during the trixie freeze. Once libcrypt-dev is no longer build-essential, this package will fail to build from source as Perl's extension module header includes crypt.h. This is expected to happen some months into the forky cycle. Please add this dependency. The additional dependency is safe for inclusion in trixie, but given the freeze, packages should not be uploaded for this change alone anymore. Thank you Helmut [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2025/04/msg00113.html
