perlapi-5.6.1
I apologize for filing multiple bug reports about this before seeking consensus on the list. Is someone going to put perlapi-5.6.1 back into sarge? Lots of packages indirectly depend on this and cannot be installed now. Should there be a dummy package for compatibility with perl 5.8.0? Thank you for investigating. --mark--

They have had plenty of time to do so. Because they hadn't, they had been holding up perl 5.8 from entering testing, which was keeping lots of other packages in the dep tree from progressing.
