It's no problem. I had forgotten I even asked until I looked over my

Got it.

Hrm. I took the package over, along with three or four other packages,
when mdorman admitted that he didn't have time for it any more. I
didn't (don't) really have any particular need for it. There are a lot
of packages which depend on libmime-base64-perl in some form; I suppose
I should check whether any of those packages have a versioned
dependency, and then if not, I should have the package removed from the
archive.
Thanks for the feedback.
