To clarify: perl-modules-5.22 in experimental Provides: perl-modules,
so unversioned dependencies on perl-modules won't be broken.

There's a dozen versioned runtime dependencies and 35 versioned build
dependencies on perl-modules in sid. Those need to be fixed before the
transition, and we'll file bugs for them. I don't think they need to be
included in the tracker, though (and I'm not sure if the ben syntax even
allows that.)
