I do wonder whether either I (perl uploader) or release team should have announced this in advance. I looked to the 5.10 transition and didn't find anything specific... however, I'll probably learn from this and announce the transition next time round. > > In case it's not clear: in general the maintainers of these packages > > will not need to do anything to resolve the dependencies; they will be > > fixed by binNMUs coordinated by the release team; there are roughly > > 400 of these packages. > > I apologize again. Not my best day today. Okay, no problem -- we all have them. And apologies for not communicating the transition in advance which I guess would have saved the confusion.
