Bug#1011515: libnss-gw-name uses perl in postrm script

[Gioele Barabucci]

Package: libnss-gw-name
Version: 0.3-4
Tags: patch

Dear maintainers of libnss-gw-name,

the current postrm script of `libnss-gw-name` requires Perl.

Using `perl` in maintscripts is problematic because Perl may no longer
be installed in the future by the time the user purges the 
`libnss-gw-name` package.


The specific use of `perl` in this maintscript can be replaced
with an equivalent `sed` invocation, as in the following patch (also
available at
)
