Bug#550171: podlators-perl: uninstallable with Perl 5.10.1, possible removal?

[Niko Tyni]

Package: podlators-perl
Version: 2.2.2-1
Severity: grave

The Perl 5.10.1 packages conflict with podlators-perl (<= 2.2.2-1)
because the core version is an improvement over this one, see

 http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/perl/5.10.1-5/fixes/pod2man-index-backslash.diff

This means that the podlators-perl is currently uninstallable in sid
and there isn't much point in updating it.

Given the upstream release rate has slowed down, I suppose there isn't
much point in having a separate package in Debian at all. Therefore I'm
inclined to turn this into a removal request from sid. In any case it
should be removed from squeeze so as not to block the testing transition
of the perl package.

Russ (cc'd explicitly): please let me know what you think.
