I've tested the packages which were blocked by libapache2-mod-perl2 today, and filed two new bug reports, against libembperl-perl[1] and libapache-gallery-perl[2]. The former unfortunately has a history of breaking with new perl releases and fixes may not be forthcoming; it also has a low and diminishing popcon, so I think at this stage we should not let it block our transition. The latter is a trivial fix (and does not block the transition as it's an arch:all package); I expect it will be fixed either by the maintainer, or by NMU, soon. I will try some real world testing with the new libapache2-mod-perl2 package in sid/perl 5.20 later this week, and then I think we can plan to go ahead with the transition after that - as soon as this weekend if other ongoing transitions allow? Cheers, Dominic.
