libtest-more-perl is bogus, of course, sorry I'll upload a fixed package
tonight.

In principle, though, the issue I'm trying to address is
(build-)dependencies in oldstable, as long as that's still part of the
archive. squeeze has perl (and hence, perl-modules) 5.10.1, which
includes Test::More 0.94, and libtest-simple-perl 0.94-1 (while
squeeze-backports has 0.98-1~bpo60+1). 

The correct build-dependency should thus be:

 perl (>= 5.13.4) | libtest-simple-perl (>= 0.96)

right?
