It is true that libplack-perl from backports is not coinstallable
with liburi-perl from backports; this is an unfortunate consequence
of a complex migration in libwww-perl which has meant that I haven't
managed to maintain update libplack-perl to 0.9988-1 in bpo.

What happens if you try installing liburi-perl from squeeze first,
then rerun your aptitude command? It shouldn't be necessary to use
the bpo version of liburi-perl, but it might be being selected even
though not strictly required by the dependencies.
