Thanks!

Equal (upstream) versions between perl and the separate dual life packages
work technically fine together, they are just somewhat wasteful. Older
separate packages are already handled by Breaks on the perl side.

I'd say let the equal versions be for now and maybe revisit them after
the main 5.40 transition or even later around trixie freeze time? That
might save us a bit of unnecessary work for packages that get updated
to newer versions between now and then.
