commit 4cccacbf288a6751a3d7b12df187566915bfc9d2
Author: Charles Plessy <plessy@debian.org>

    Re-allow Program Constants to be overriden by the configuration file.
    
    This regression was caused by #803729, which introduced `use strict` and
    the use of `my` for variable declaration.
    
    Closes: #1005180

commit ea940afbe73d9ea9bf0f4c3ccbb2bf2838a97238
Author: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@googlemail.com>
Date:   Mon Nov 22 12:32:01 2021 +0100

    d/postinst: set correct SELinux context for /etc/mailcap
    
    `/etc/mailcap` is generated by the perl script update-mime. Since perl has
    no libselinux bindings, it is not trivially possible to create the file
    with the default SELinux context. Thus possibly correct the context
    after creation with restorecon(8).

Standards version of the package is outdated. wishlist
The package should be updated to follow the last version of Debian Policy (Standards-Version 4.6.2 instead of 4.5.0).
