Package: libtest-tempdir-perl
Version: 0.10-2
Severity: minor
Quoting the POD:
DEPRECATION NOTICE
There have been numerous issues found with this module,
particularly with its use of locks (unreliable, may result in
your entire $TMPDIR being deleted) and MSWin32 compatibility. As
well, it uses Moose, which is nowadays considered to be heavier
than necessary.
Test::TempDir::Tiny was written as a replacement. Please use
it instead!
I suggest updating the package long description to reflect this.
We have libtest-tempdir-tiny-perl in sid/stretch so that part is fine.
We probably don't want to remove libtest-tempdir-perl altogether for the
sake of existing users (though in the archive there are just a couple
of reverse build dependencies AFAICS...)
