Agreed.

The diffs supplied originally in August are likely to be too large to
be acceptable as unblocks and I've been wondering about an alternative
solution for Wheezy.

An alternative solution would be:

0: RM libcatalystx-simplelogin-perl
libcatalystx-simplelogin-perl |     0.15-1 | source, all
Checking reverse dependencies...
No dependency problem found.

Removal of libcatalystx-simplelogin-perl possible.

Closes: #680829 (Severity: serious)

1: RM libcatalyst-actionrole-acl-perl
libcatalyst-actionrole-acl-perl |     0.06-1 | source, all
Checking reverse dependencies...
# Broken Build-Depends:
libcatalystx-simplelogin-perl: libcatalyst-actionrole-acl-perl

Dependency problem found.

Dependency problem goes away due to 0:

Removal of libcatalyst-actionrole-acl-perl possible.

Closes: #680819 (Severity: serious)

2: RM libcatalyst-view-component-subinclude-perl
libcatalyst-view-component-subinclude-perl |     0.10-1 | source, all
Checking reverse dependencies...
# Broken Depends:
gitalist: gitalist-common

# Broken Build-Depends:
gitalist: libcatalyst-view-component-subinclude-perl (>= 0.07)

Dependency problem found.

gitalist: 
$ rmadison gitalist
 gitalist | 0.003006+dfsg-2 | sid | source
$ bts select source:gitalist severity:grave severity:serious
681435
665223

Removal of libcatalyst-view-component-subinclude-perl possible.

Closes: #680843

3: RM gitalist
gitalist | 0.003006+dfsg-2 | source
gitalist-common | 0.003006+dfsg-2 | all
gitalist-fastcgi | 0.003006+dfsg-2 | all
Checking reverse dependencies...
No dependency problem found.

Closes: #681435
Closes: #665223

Not in testing. Worth removing from unstable?

Instead: RM

Instead: RM

+ libcatalyst-view-component-subinclude-perl, possibly remove gitalist
from unstable.

I'll file the three RM bugs against release.debian.org (for removal
from testing only) later today. I haven't decided whether it's worth
removing gitalist at this stage.

The one problematic bug is #680826 in
libtest-www-mechanize-catalyst-perl

libtest-www-mechanize-catalyst-perl |     0.57-1 | source, all
Checking reverse dependencies...
# Broken Depends:
libcatalyst-modules-perl: libcatalyst-modules-perl

# Broken Build-Depends:
gitalist: libtest-www-mechanize-catalyst-perl
libcatalyst-modules-perl: libtest-www-mechanize-catalyst-perl
libcatalyst-plugin-unicode-encoding-perl:
libtest-www-mechanize-catalyst-perl libmojomojo-perl:
libtest-www-mechanize-catalyst-perl

gitalist isn't a problem, libcatalyst-modules-perl and libmojomojo-perl
are problems for fixing #680826.

However, the original email to debian-release did not cover how that
particular bug was to be fixed either.
