Dear wims-lti maintainer,
the current postrm script of `wims-lti` requires Perl. Maintscripts
should not rely on the existence of Perl in future systems.
In this specific case it is possible to replace the single use of `perl`
with an invocation of `mktemp` or `shuf` (both from coreutils), as in
these patches:
Using `mktemp`:
diff -ur a/debian/wims-lti.postrm b/debian/wims-lti.postrm

cp /var/lib/wims-lti/db.sqlite3 $t
echo "Made a backup of the database in $t"
# clean every file left
