Bug#879529: transition: perl 5.26.1

[Niko Tyni]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

Hi,

perl 5.26.1-1 is in experimental. It is binary compatible with 5.26.0
and therefore Provides both perlapi-5.26.0 and perlapi-5.26.1. However,
four binNMUs will be needed once it enters unstable due to their strict
versioned dependencies on the current perl version:

 libpar-packer-perl
 libdevel-cover-perl
 libclass-xsaccessor-perl
 libcommon-sense-perl

Please let us know if/when it's OK to upload.

Given the tiny scope of this transition, I wasn't quite sure whether I
should file a bug, or just upload and ask for binNMUs later. Please let me
know if you'd like to see similar cases handled differently in the future.

Thanks for your work.
