Right, thanks also for filing a bug against libextutils-parsexs-perl. (This happens for each release that some dual-lifed modules are newer in core than their separate equivalents on the CPAN. Either this fixes itself with a new separate release or we remove the package at some point.) > libextutils-parsexs-perl does have reverse dependencies > in unstable, including revers dependencies with versioned > dependencies. I checked all reverse (build) dependencies and didn't see any problems; all of them are either unversioned or have the form "perl (>= 5.x) | libextutils-parsexs-perl [(>= 3.x]). So I think we have no actual problem here. > Versioned Provides for such modules are required.
