libanyevent-perl 5.271-2 is now built and installed on all
architectures.

I've prepared a new libcoro-perl release in our svn repo which
- removes the cruft from debian/rules
- bumps the build and runtime dependency on libanyevent-perl to 
  >= 5.271-2

Before I upload: Is this ok for the release team, and can -- provided
libcoro-perl builds everywhere -- both package be unblocked?

On a second thought: libcoro-perl 5.210-1 in testing should be fine
with the newer libanyevent-perl and a round of binNMUs; and we can
still test this and do the cleanup by uploading 5.230-4 to unstable.
Hm.

I'm also open to other ideas :)

Cheers,
gregor
