That would be "once" in my option list above, sorry for the wording
:)

In practice, upgrades of 5.22 will only happen for a couple of people
in their build chroots; at least I can't imagine anyone having 5.22
installed from experimental in production and upgrading there. And
with the first upload to unstable, the experimental packages get
auto-decrufted. -- But still, I'm all for doing it right even if it
doesn't have a real impact :)

If I'm understanding dpkg-maintscript-helper correctly, it adds
snippets with version checks (if 'prior-version' is set), so the only
maintainance "burden" is to have a debian/libperl5.22.maintscript
file which is written once and doesn't change. -- Or not, since
src:perl doesn't use dh_installdeb.

Anyway, attached is a quick patch (tested in my chroot on an upgrade
from 5.22.0-3).
 

Cheers,
gregor
