Removing the Provides should work; and although it's a bit ugly it would only be needed for ~1 year (until we get 5.42). I also thought about lowering the Replaces/Breaks in libtest-simple-perl, but this wouldn't work, as perl ships (and Provides) 0.000162 and we have libtest2-suite-perl 0.000163 in the archive. Another option might be to build a binary package libtest2-suite-perl from src:libtest-simple-perl, then we could drop the Replaces/Breaks in bin:libtest-simple-perl. Also ugly but also needed for only ~1 year. Or maybe we could just remove libtest-simple-perl and libtest2-suite-perl from the archive and be happy with what's in src:perl. (But I guess there is a reason for having them, like other packages requiring newer versions …).
