Bug#294732: apt experimental 0.6.25 depends on obsolete libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.11.2 and blocks testing packages

AFAICS, you have this entirely back-to-front. apt *does* *not* depend on libapt-pkg-perl; quite the opposite, in fact. apt provides a virtual package which specifies its API version. The version of apt in unstable provides libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.3, whereas the version of experimental provides libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.5. The latest version of libapt-pkg-perl (which is maintained by the perl maintainer, not the apt maintainers) still depends on libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.3, which is quite correct as the package in unstable must use the same API version as the apt in unstable. IMHO, this bug should either be closed or reassigned to libapt-pkg-perl as a wishlist request for an upload to experimental that depends on the new API.
