Yes, I suppose perl (from 5.22) and libtest-simple-perl need to agree on
whether they Provide libtest-tester-perl and libtest-use-ok-perl. Either
both should or both should not. As libtest-simple-perl went for the
Provides so should we.

It also seems to me that the separate packages could and should be removed
from sid right away as they are now Provided by libtest-simple-perl
and having the old versions around only complicates matters. Cc'ing the
pkg-perl side; any objections?
