Severity: wishlist
Hi,
perl 5.10.1 is in squeeze+sid, so data/fields/perl-provides needs
an update.
The libio-compress-*-perl packages have been merged upstream, and
the resulting libio-compress-perl needs a special case similar to the
libio-compress-zlib-perl one.
Please consider applying the attached patch and running
debian/rules refresh-perl-provides
afterwards.

Subject: [PATCH] refresh-perl-provides: special case libio-compress-perl
The libio-compress-perl package has obsoleted the separate
libio-compress-* packages, but there's no IO::Compress module.
Find out the libio-compress-perl version number from IO::Compress::Gzip
just like we do for libio-compress-zlib-perl.
libio-compress-zlib-perl still exists in sid as an empty transitional
package, so no need to drop it quite yet.
