I just noticed that the binary package libgdal-perl is no longer provided
in Debian testing or unstable.

There seems to be no mention in changelog of dropping that package, so I
wonder if it was deliberate (and if so I recommend to retroactively add
mention of it to changelog.

GDAL 3.5 removed the Perl bindings, see:

 https://gdal.org/development/rfc/rfc84_cmake.html#swig-bindings

Searching elsewhere you'll find:

 https://lists.debian.org/debian-gis/2021/04/msg00004.html

"
 - Perl bindings are deprecated. Removal planned for GDAL 3.5.
   Use Geo::GDAL::FFI instead
"
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/v3.5.0/MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT#L47

libgdal-perl has no votes in popcon for quite a while, I'm surprised it affects you.

If you need Perl bindings for GDAL, consider packaging Geo::GDAL::FFI.

Kind Regards,

Bas
