No, the problem here is that Module-ScanDeps uses inc::Module::Install,
which breaks with upcoming perls.

It is my opinion that every distribution that uses MI should switch off of it,
but that is not a new opinion -- it is merely bolstered by the new issues.
I'm leaving this issue open as it's not my distribution, and the remedy is the
same as proposed for the originally-conceived issue.
