Our package tracking system at http://packages.qa.debian.org/libcommon-sense-perl (linked from the package search at http://packages.debian.org/libcommon-sense-perl, too) shows where our packaging git repository for that package is located: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-perl/packages/libcommon-sense-perl.git > Meanwhile, here's the results of a little investigation of my own: > > Executive summary. > This is probably a case for upstream: they'll have to adapt their use of > the '$^H' variable. Thanks for this investigation. I've just uploaded Gregor's fix on the packaging side (as there were also multiple people posting there review results on our IRC channel (#debian-perl on irc.debian.org), but I suspect that this isn't the end of this issue. So we're happy about your review even though the bug itself is considered fixed for Debian Unstable. Wondering if we should clone it with lowered severity for a more elegant fix.

Could have quite some tripping hazards in that solution.
