ustr MIR (needed by libsemanage):
Review in bug:
 * Does it FTBFS currently? builds fine with only main
 * Does it have a test suite? yes and it is enabled in the build
 * Does Ubuntu carry a delta? no
 * It has a symbols file
 * Does it have a bug subscriber in Ubuntu? no
 * Does it have a watch file? yes
 * Is its update history slow or sporadic? yes. Last upstream update was 4.5 years ago
 * Is the current release packaged? yes
 * Will entering main make it harder for the people currently keeping it up to date? no
 * Lintian warnings no
 * Is debian/rules a mess? no, it's clean
 * Errors/warnings during the build: yes, but they are false positives or harmless
 * Incautious use of malloc/sprintf: no, it is highly optimized and not easy to get into, but also very defensively programmed
 * Uses of sudo or LD_LIBRARY_PATH: no
 * Important bugs (crashers, etc) in Debian or Ubuntu: no
 * Does the package have a CVE history? no
 * Do not need a security audit at this time

ustr has some compiler warnings but they turned out to not be a problem after some review. A bug subscriber would be nice. The fact that upstream hasn't created any new releases gives me some pause, but it is also an indication that ustr is feature complete and works well. ACK
