-As for backports there is a problem with the sarge version of libcgi-session-perl
-and my sslcookie patch (complaints about a missing include file auto/CGI/Session/cookie.al IIRC).
-This file does not and has not ever existed, but it appears to be fixed in 
-the backport of libcgi-session-perl that I did. That puts the dependency
-required at somewhere between 3.95-2 and 4.14-1. This could then be added
-to debian/control. It would mean one more package to backport, but stops the
-bug if anyone actually uses my sslcookie option except me.

-backported to sarge, with bpo in sources.list. This only covers Depends: though,
