Hm, ok.

But then libimager-qrcode-perl needs to (build) depend on
libimager-perl >= 0.90, because that is the version where the API
version was bumped to 5 (and it will be built against 0.93+dfsg-1
in unstable which also has version 5).

And since there is no older version of libimager-qrcode-perl (after
this migrates to testing) as it's not in stable, there can't be any
partial upgrades; unless I have some thinko right now, which is also
possible :)

Thank you; let's see what we find to be the best short-term
resolution.
