Right, thanks for coming back to this bug in libpdl-stats-perl.

Hm, not sure. I guess it depends on (1) when there will be a pdfl
2.008 upload and (2) how urgent the gsl transition is.
If we can wait, fine. If there is any urgency, 0.6.5.1-2 would make
sense. (I just wouldn't call the branch "stretch" as this might
confuse us in the future :))

Cheers,
