Package: libimdb-film-perl
Version: 0.24-1
Severity: serious
As the imdb.com website is likely to change during the lifetime of a
stabel release, and because this will break libimdb-film-perl's
functionality, the package should not be released in stable/main. I
am considering uploading it to volatile instead.

Same disclaimer here. But agree, let's give it a try and deal with any
issue as they arise.
