I also noticed that the new failures are slightly different than the
previous ones we (or the upstream ticket) mentioned, and I'm not sure
this fallout is confined to specific architectures.

Luckily libdevel-mat-perl is no key package and has no reverse
dependencies, so it can safely be removed from testing until upstream
finds the time to look into this issue …
