It's great that we have everything built. There could still be RC bugs,
entangled transitions etc. preventing testing migration though. We just
need to keep an eye on this as well.

I see three here:

  # grep-dctrl -P perl /var/lib/apt/lists/localhost:3142_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-amd64_Packages|grep-dctrl -n -sPackage -FDepends libssl1.0
  liblasso-perl
  libnet-ldns-perl
  libsnmp-perl

Cool, thanks. I think libnet-ssleay-perl might be a good choice for
providing the baseline perl-openssl-abi-x virtual package.

And many thanks for looking at this!
