Oh. I guess not in that case then. It would just create unnecessary restrictions for apt during stretch->buster upgrades. I note that Ubuntu has released with affected versions, but that's not really our problem of course. I'm a bit surprised that this went unnoticed for a year in sid, even through a major Perl transition (5.24 -> 5.26). A lintian check for catching such bugs would be nice for the future. -- Niko
