** Description changed:

  The new nfs-utils in Debian adds dependencies on libtirpc and rpcbind
  for IPv6.  One is a network-sensitive library and the other is a network
  server, so I guess we'll want some careful review.
+ 
+ 
+ == libtirpc ==
+ * Availability: Package is in universe, synced from Debian
+ * Rationale: Dependency of rpcbind which is required for IPv6 support
+ * Security:
+ ** No CVE: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=tirpc
+ ** 2 old (2008) secunia advisories: 
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/17898/?task=advisories (fixed by upstream)
+ ** Ubuntu CVE tracker: none
+ ** SUID/SGID binaries: none
+ ** Executables in sbin: none
+ ** Daemons: none
+ * QA:
+ ** Just a library with two binary packages (one for the lib and one -dev), no 
debconf question or configuration.
+ ** No bug in Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libtirpc/+bugs
+ ** No critical bugs in Debian: 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=libtirpc
+ ** Package is maintained in Debian though not very active (last upload in 
December, moved to testing in February)
+ ** Build-depends on universe package "libgss-dev" which seems useless and 
should be dropped
+ *** A rebuild without the build-depend worked fine
+ *** Output of ldd is identical
+ *** Output of strings is identical
