heads-up, debhelper now depends transitively on libsub-prototype-perl and hence on the current "perlapi"

As far as I can tell, until recently all the perl modules that debhelper depended on where either part of the perl package itself, or were pure perl modules. This meant that changes to "perlapi" did not make debehlper uninstallable. However, while working on raspbian (which is still dealing with the time64 transition), I discovered the following dependency chain. debhelper dh-strip-nondeterminism libfile-stripnondeterminism-perl libsub-override-perl libsub-prototype-perl perlapi-<whatever> If my understanding is correct, this means that when perlapi is bumped debhelper will become uninstabllable. Since almost everything in Debian, including libsub-prototype-perl, build-depends on debhelper this will present a bit of a problem. This dependency chain seems to be have been introduced by the upload of libsub-override-perl 0.11-1
