Debian FTP Master(s) and Niko,
Currently, perl-modules-5.34 and perl-modules-5.36 are libs/standard.
However, Debian Policy 2.5 Priorities:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#priorities
states:
"In particular, this means that C-like libraries will almost
never have a priority above optional, since they do not provide
functionality directly to users."
Since perl-modules-5.xx are not standalone packages and are in
Section:libs, I consider this Policy to apply to them.
Please change perl-modules-5.34 and perl-modules-5.36 from:
* Priority: standard
to:
* Priority: optional
perl 5.34.0 is Priority:standard" and Depends on perl-modules-5.34.
perl 5.36.0 is Priority:standard" and Depends on perl-modules-5.36.
Therefore, perl-modules-5.xx will still be pulled into Standard systems.
Thank you,
Daniel Lewart
