Missing libspreadsheet-parsexlsx-perl package

[AlainKnaff]

libspreadsheet-read-perl (perl package Spreadsheet::Read) needs Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX to work correctly. However, by default Ubuntu includes Spreadsheet::XLSX (libspreadsheet-xlsx-perl) instead, which munges date cells, and text cells that contain HTML escapable characters.

The correct perl package Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX (which would be called libspreadsheet-parsexlsx-perl package) is not even available in the apt repositories, and currently needs to be installed manually using CPAN.

Please include this package, and make libspreadsheet-read-perl depend on it, rather than on the broken libspreadsheet-xlsx-perl

What I expect to happen:
When using Spreadsheet::Read, cells containing dates should be formatted as text (2019-06-21) rather than as integer (number of days since January 1900). Cells containing text, containing special characters such as "&" should render this as is

What happened instead
Date cells are formatted as days since January 1900 (example: 43636) and & are escapes as &
