Hi Release Team
Since I'm quite late in the freeze timeline I rather want to ask for a
pre-approval on this unblock request. libsys-virt-perl contains a
rather emberassing wrong dependency, which is on libvirt-bin (in
jessie transitional package), which pulls in libvirt-daemon-system and
libvirt-clients. But this is actually not needed for the Sys::Virt
Perl module to function as it can connect to remote libvirtd daemons
like virsh cli.
I adjusted also the Build-Depends to use only libvirt-daemon (this is
needed in the testsuite).
The debian/changelog entry is:
> libsys-virt-perl (1.2.9-2) unstable; urgency=medium
>
> * Change Build-Depends from libvirt-bin to libvirt-daemon
> libvirt-bin is now a transitional package and only libvirt-daemon is
> used during build.
> * Drop Depends on libvirt-bin.
> The runtime dependency to neither libvirt-daemon-system or
> libvirt-clients is required to have the Perl module working. It only
> requires the dependency on the library, since libvirt supports also
> accessing remote daemons via the network.
> Thanks to Daniel Gröber <d...@darkboxed.org> (Closes: #774185)

I'm also attaching the full debdiff.
Please unblock package libsys-virt-perl
unblock libsys-virt-perl/1.2.9-2
Thanks a lot in advance for considering.

Description: Perl module providing an extension for the libvirt library
The Sys::Virt module provides a Perl XS binding to the libvirt virtual
machine management APIs. This allows machines running within arbitrary
