Proposed mass bug-filing format for deprecated package use

Hi,

I've found around 10 packages so far where these messages appear in
the build logs (and I'm only half-way through the rebuild); I think it
would be worthwhile to file bugs for these. They'll need to be fixed for
5.14 anyway.

Any comments on the format/contents below?

Cheers,
Dominic.

Subject: libcgi-application-perl: uses packages deprecated in perl 5.12
Reply-To: 

Package: libcgi-application-perl
Version: 4.31-1
Severity: minor
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.12-transition

During a rebuild of perl modules using the perl 5.12.3 packages in
experimental, the following warning was observed during the build of
libcgi-application-perl:

Class::ISA will be removed from the Perl core distribution in the next major release. Please install the separate libclass-isa-perl package. It is being used at /build/dom-libcgi-application-perl_4.31-1-i386-Dq75_0/libcgi-application-perl-4.31/blib/lib/CGI/Application.pm, line 4.

Please depend/build-depend as appropriate on

libclass-isa-perl | perl (<< 5.12.0)

Thanks,
Dominic.
