Hi Niels, Thanks. I've now uploaded 5.20.2-1, which includes changes related to other RC bugs as well as the new upstream release. I've filed a binNMU bug for the packages that need rebuilding as a result. I'll ping this thread again when all packages related to perl 5.20.2 and #777597 are ready to be unblocked.
