Thanks for the hint. Done in Git and uploaded (for other reasons) as
2:1.2491-3. (We'll see if that one builds on mips, mipsel and armhf,
and finally migrates to testing..)

Thanks a lot for running these tests!

FWIW, on armhf, the only failing build was on the "hasse" buildd.

Note that Dominique Dumont has investigated this failure a bit from
the Perl side of things, and reported back on the upstream bug:
