Package: gforge-plugins-extra
Severity: serious
Version: 4.7~rc2-5
Tags: security

Hi,

By taking a look at the list of files shipped by gforge-plugins-extra I can 
easily see several scripts which are already in the Debian archive. I'm 
using 'serious' as the severity given the fact that in many of the already 
packaged scripts security issues have been found in the past.

Examples:
usr/share/gforge/plugins/webcalendar/
Package: webcalendar; 24 known security issues [1]

usr/share/gforge/plugins/wiki/
Package: phpwiki; 7 known security issues [2]

usr/share/gforge/plugins/wiki/www/lib/WikiDB/adodb/
Package: libphp-adodb; 5 known security issues [3]
Note: phpwiki also ships its own copy of adodb, but that's a separate issue

It would be great if the other scripts are individually packaged/maintained 
from their own upstreams.
