libastro-fits-header-perl for Debian
----------------------------

The Astro::FITS::Header::NDF and GSD modules provided by this package,
as standard, rely on the NDF and GSD modules provided by the Starlink
project. Those modules are not packaged for Debian as Starlink
software is non-free (as in liberty). You can download the source (or
binary for Linux, Alpha and Sun hardware) free of charge as long as
you are not a profit making organisation. Consequently the
Astro::FITS::Header::NDF and GSD modules cannot be placed in main,
rather than move all of the modules here to contrib I will separately
package the NDF and GSD modules if there is any demand.

Project in general see http://star-www.rl.ac.uk/
