Bug#952593: FTBFS in buster: liblocale-codes-perl package required for building /english/doc/devel-manuals

Hi,

I have tried to build /english/doc/devel-manuals in a buster machine and got
this error:

wml -q -D CUR_YEAR=2020 -o UNDEFuEN:devel-manuals.en.html@g+w   devel-manuals.wml
ePerl:Error: Perl runtime error (interpreter rc=0)

---- Contents of STDERR channel: ---------
Locale::Codes will be removed from the Perl core distribution in the next major
release. Please install the separate liblocale-codes-perl package. It is being
used at /usr/share/perl/5.28/Locale/Language.pm, line 22.

Installing liblocale-codes-perl solved the issue for me.

I have checked
https://salsa.debian.org/dsa-team/mirror/debian.org/blob/master/debian/control
and I cannot see such package in the recipe for www-master.
I have checked the www-master machine (wolkenstein.debian.org) and it's not
installed there (but that machine is running Debian 9 stretch currently).

I'm not sure if the package will be installed automatically with the upgrade to
buster, or in a clean install as a dependency of other Perl package that is in
the recipe in debian/control.

Just opening this bug to not forget to check after the upgrade if it's needed to
install manually and thus update the debian/control recipe.

Kind regards,
