These are resolved now, and all known regressions found in our test
rebuilds are marked as blocking this bug.

The libpod-parser-perl dependencies are trivial to add.

There's no fix for libdata-alias-perl, and I expect we'll need to remove
it from testing. It's just an optional dependency for other packages
AFAICS, so I don't expect much fallout (as long as the build dependencies
are relaxed in libio-stream-perl and libmethod-signatures-perl first.)

Could we raise the remaining bugs to 'serious' now? Do you have any
guesstimate on the timing for a transition slot?

Thanks for your work,
