[MIR] vpnc-scripts

[Luís Infante da Câmara]

[Availability]
The package vpnc-scripts is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package vpnc-scripts builds for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el riscv64 s390x
Link to package [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vpnc-scripts|vpnc-scripts]]

[Rationale]
- The package vpnc-scripts is required in Ubuntu main as a dependency of openconnect.
- The package vpnc-scripts will not generally be useful for a large part of
  our user base, but is important/helpful still because it is a dependency of openconnect.

- It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the
  package vpnc-scripts in Ubuntu main, but there is no definitive deadline.

[Security]
- No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past

- no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
- no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
- Package does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024)
- Package does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software
  (filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...)

[Quality assurance - function/usage]
- The package works well right after install

[Quality assurance - maintenance]
- The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and has not too many
  and long term critical bugs open
  - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vpnc-scripts/+bug
  - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=vpnc-scripts
- The package has important open bugs, listing them:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vpnc-scripts/+bug/1871184
- The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support

[Quality assurance - testing]
- The package does not run a test at build time because:
  * for the version in Ubuntu 20.04, neither upstream nor Debian added tests.
  * for the versions in Ubuntu 22.04 and Kinetic, Debian did not set up the package to run the included tests.

- The package does not run an autopkgtest because Debian did not add one.

- The package does have not failing autopkgtests right now

- The package can not be tested at build or autopkgtest time because TBD
  to make up for that here (bug #1986592) is a test plan/automation and example
  test, see bug #1986592 for logs (to be added)

[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is present and works, but the scheme should be replaced as happened with openconnect between 8.05-1 and 8.20-1.

- debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field

- This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
- Please link to a recent build log of the package

  `lintian --pedantic` as an extra post to this bug.
- Lintian overrides are not present for the versions in Ubuntu 22.04 and Kinetic.
- Lintian overrides are present for the version in Ubuntu 20.04, but ok because upstream did not provide a changelog.

- This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
- This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies

- The package will be installed by default, but does not ask debconf
  questions higher than medium

- Packaging and build is easy, link to d/rules
