Looks like both are needed in a way: If I add libkeyword-simple-perl
| libdevel-declare-perl, there's still one autopkgtest failure:

    # Subtest: all modules in libperlx-assert-perl pass the syntax check
    1..3
    # Can't locate Devel/Declare.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Devel::Declare module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.24 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24 /usr/share/perl/5.24 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at /usr/share/perl5/PerlX/Assert/DD.pm line 6.
    # BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/PerlX/Assert/DD.pm line 6.
    not ok 1 - /usr/bin/perl -wc /usr/share/perl5/PerlX/Assert/DD.pm exited successfully
    ok 2 - /usr/bin/perl -wc /usr/share/perl5/PerlX/Assert/Keyword.pm exited successfully
    ok 3 - /usr/bin/perl -wc /usr/share/perl5/PerlX/Assert.pm exited successfully
not ok 4 - all modules in libperlx-assert-perl pass the syntax check


Which matches your conclusion that only PerlX::Assert::DD needs Devel::Declare
but adding both seems safer.
