Sure. This change was made by Ansgar Burchardt. The reason was to try to avoid situations as we had in #589051 [1] and #589052 [2]. [1] http://bugs.debian.org/589051 [2] http://bugs.debian.org/589052 The idea was to try to avoid (indirect) build-depends on itself of packages. These release tests only are t/97_meta.t, t/98_pod.t and t/99_pmv.t The t/97_meta.t tests that the META.yml matches current specifications. Similarly t/98_pod.t is test if the POD documentation is valid and t/99_pmv.t to test if the minimum needed Perl version declared matches really the syntax. In any case I have Cc'ed Ansgar if he would like to do any further comments on this. Thanks for you time and bests Salvatore
