+:) As i look into packaging Math::MPFR, i notice that the upstream
+author ("Sisyphus") has a bunch of tests that interoperate with
+Math::GMPz, Math::GMPq, and Math::GMPf, which aren't in debian (and are
+also written by Sisyphus).  AFAICT, Math::GMP (which is in debian)
+covers that territory in more perlish ways.  And Math::BigInt::GMP does
+the same thing for bigint notation.
+
+Is there any reason we should consider Math::GMP[zqf] for debian as
+well?  I'm inclined to leave it alone for now since i have no immediate
+need for them, and i like the Math::GMP and Math::BigInt::GMP interfaces
+just fine.
+
+The test suites for Math::MPFR also reference Math::Decimal64 and
+Math::LongDouble (two more packages also by Sisyphus), but those package
+appear to be focused on working around various weird business with
+Microsoft compilers, afaict.  So i'm inclined to not bother with those
+as well, and just let a bunch of the test suites be skipped.
+
+If anyone has any suggestions or thoughts about this, i'd be happy to
+hear them.  Otherwise, this message will just sit in the archive as
+evidence of why i'm ignoring those other packages at this time :)
+
+Happy Hacking,
