Hi,
for hopefully the last time, we need to document the postgresql-plperl
upgrade process. (For stretch/buster+, the libperl* packages should be
co-installable.)

+ <para>
+ The PostgreSQL PL/Perl procedural language package in jessie is
+ incompatible with the Perl version in stretch. The
+ <systemitem role="package">postgresql-plperl-9.4</systemitem> package
+ will be removed during the update, rendering server-side Perl procedures
+ dysfunctional. Upgrading to PostgreSQL 9.6 should be unaffected, the
+ procedures will work in the new PostgreSQL cluster if the
+ <systemitem role="package">postgresql-plperl-9.6</systemitem> package
+ is installed. If unsure, take a backup of your PostgreSQL 9.4 clusters
+ before upgrading to stretch.
