This is a pre-approval request.
As I wrote in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2021/01/msg00296.html
we'd like to get 5.32.1 into bullseye if possible. I should have probably
written all that in a bug instead so it can be tracked effectively.
As always, perl point releases are pretty conservative and we've
effectively imported them into s-p-u before.
All the reset of the context is in that post so I won't repeat it.
My preference is to upload 5.32.1 in whole as it's probably overall
less risky, and less maintenance work, but there is the option of
cherry-picking the targetted fixes too.
5.32.1 would need a binnmu of a few leaf packages
(libpar-packer-perl libdevel-cover-perl libclass-xsaccessor-perl
libcommon-sense-perl) as usual.
perl 5.32.1 is currently in experimental - see
<https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/interpreter/perl/-/tree/experimental-5.32>
Cheers
Dominic
