I'm not the libfile-temp-perl maintainer, but please note:

- perl-modules has provided libfile-temp-perl since 5.6.1. See #98977.
- perl-modules currently only has File::Temp 0.18, so
  libfile-temp-perl provides a newer version (0.20)
- there are two packages with versioned dependencies (that aren't
  satisfied by a Provides field) on libfile-temp-perl:
  * Package: svk
    Depends: [...], libfile-temp-perl (>> 0.17)
    Build-Depends-Indep: [...], libfile-temp-perl (>> 0.17)
  * libpar-perl: bogus version 0.05 in the dependency, filed as #497170

While there's probably no need to have a newer File::Temp as a separate
package, both svk and libpar-perl need to be changed first and I don't
think this should be considered release critical.
