In the IRC meeting today agreed that removal was the best choice,
as the status of the unofficial port is unclear. The biggest impact
will be on uwsgi, but the build-dependency on libcoro-perl can be
removed without too much impact. So this message is to declare that
this bug can be ignored for the purposes of the perl 5.22 transition.
In due time, if it's clear that it's not going to change, the package
can be removed from unstable.
