The Makefile.PL for RTx::Calendar specifies a dependency on
Digest::SHA1.  Trying to satisfy it with Digest::SHA and getting a
failure is not a bug.

Debian decided to aggressively drop Digest::SHA1 from their packages.
You'll need to install it from CPAN or continue to use a local patch to
switch RTx::Calendar to Digest::SHA.  Many Perl packages Debian provides
are modified by them at install time to s/Digest::SHA1/Digest::SHA/g.

Since Debian is forcing folks' hands on this, the RTx::Calendar dep
should just get changed to Digest::SHA instead of attempting to load it
completely undeclared after ::SHA1 fails.
