Along with test/auth_eval.sh and test/auth_measure.sh? Since these
two files still contain arch references (hipl--esp--2.6) I assume they
have been unused since at least the switch to Bazaar.

At the top of nsupdate.pl I see
use Net::DNS;
use Net::IP qw/ip_is_ipv6 ip_is_ipv4/;
use Sys::Syslog;
use Sys::Hostname;
so I wonder where the libsocket6-perl libio-socket-inet6-perl deps
come from.
I also noticed that nsupdate.pl is lacking a license statement. It's
not clear to me who the original author is and if this file was part
of the relicensing efforts or not, but I think the situation should
be clarified by adding a license statement to the top of the file.
