Bug#659869: perl modules obsoleted by perl 5.14 are uninstallable in sid

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: perl
Version: 5.14.2-7
Severity: wishlist
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org

Hi,

there are a few perl modules that are now included in the perl 5.14 core
module set and the 'old' separate module packages are no longer
installable in sid (the packages were removed from wheezy during the
perl 5.14 transition).
Perl maintainers expressed intention to keep these packages around in
sid in case these modules get updated.

Some more discussion about this can be found in this thread:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2012/01/msg00051.html

These old packages fail the piuparts tests in sid (because they are
uninstallable) and the repeated failures distract from real problems
that need bugs to be filed about. Therefore I'm filing this wishlist
bug against perl and will set 
  affects + $package
  found $package/$version
for all affected modules so that piuparts-analyze can mark the fail logs
as 'bugged'.

The packages currently affected are:
  libparent-perl
  libshell-perl
  libtime-piece-perl
  libautodie-perl
