[Availability]
The package libregexp-common-perl is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package libregexp-common-perl build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 (all)
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libregexp-common-perl
[Rationale]
The package libregexp-common-perl is required in Ubuntu main for libmail-dmarc-perl.
The package libregexp-common-perl will not generally be useful for a large part of
our user base, but is important/helpful still because it is required as runtime dependency by libmail-dmarc-perl
( libmail-dmarc-perl is in the MIR process here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmail-dmarc-perl/+bug/2023971 )
The package libregexp-common-perl is required in Ubuntu main no later than through the same scheduled requested for the libmail-dmarc-perl promotion, since libmail-dmarc-perl depends on it.

No `suid` or `sgid` binaries.
No executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`.
Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs.
Package does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024).
Package does not expose any external endpoints.
Package does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software (filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...); but creates and parse patterns of URIs and other sensitive information like credit cards.
Regexp::Common is a Perl module that exports a single hash ('%RE') that stores or generates commonly needed regular expressions.
[Quality assurance - function/usage]
The package works well right after install
The package has important/old open bugs on upstream , some of them are:
- /^$RE{URI}$/ takes exponential time depending on the position of an invalid percent-encoding: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=132726
- Examples in pod do not work(?) Regexp::Common : https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=129566
- IPv6 regexp fails to match address fd5d:5d93:4007:5a::aa:bb:80 : IPv6 regexp fails to match address fd5d:5d93:4007:5a::aa:bb:80
The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support
The package does have failing autopkgtests tests right now, but since
they always failed they are handled as "ignored failure", this is
because the test depends on pkg-perl-autopkgtest package that is not
build for i386 since focal.
