There is also libdist-zilla-perl (I forgot to remove the (build) depends in
the last update, it should be fixed now).

Since Version::Requirements is also in Perl core (since 5.13.10) this might
be easier. It would just make backporting those packages a little harder
(they would need the depends to be re-added in order to be backported), and
would be only a temporary fix until they get updated.
