The new package will migrate to testing automaticly in about a week. 
See http://packages.qa.debian.org/libapache-dbi-perl (the "testimg 
migration" box).

Perhaps it can be used in a 'PerlModule' directive? The bug is grave 
if it cannot. And strange noone reported this before :/

I agree with this.

Your mail is sufficient :)

The patch[1] is rather slim so I expect no problems for a stable 
update. Note that this still has to pass via the stable updates queue 
and stable release managers.
