Right, I was thinking of a possible new libimager-qrcode-perl upload
_whith_ a versioned dependency on libimager-perl >= 0.90. Sorry for
having been unclear.

Of course if they don't update libimager-qrcode-perl they'll never
get a fix for #692979 :) But if they do, they get the new enough
libimager-perl.

And even if they don't update libimager-qrcode-perl but update only
libimager-perl they get a version of Imager with API version 5;
that's why I think that there's no action required on the
libimager-perl side (at the moment).


Cheers,
