Bug#546235: libtest-tap-model-perl: Test::Harness::Straps is going away from perl-modules

Package: libtest-tap-model-perl
Version: 0.09-1
Severity: important
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.10.1-transition

This module is a subclass of Test::Harness::Straps, which isn't
part of Test::Harness anymore since version 3.x.

Test::Harness::Straps is now a separate CPAN distribution and isn't
currently in Debian (except for the old version in perl-modules.)

The package will become unusable when Perl 5.10.1 enters sid
unless Test::Harness::Straps is packaged and libtest-tap-model-perl
is updated to depend on libtest-harness-straps.

This is already done upstream in 0.10, from the changelog:

0.10
    - depend on Test::Harness::Straps and deprecate

Given the deprecation, a viable alternative is to remove this package.
The only reverse dependency in the archive is libtest-tap-htmlmatrix-perl.
