Yes but I've sound the solution, I think:

All three packages were changed to remove non-free RFCs; all three
now have
  Source: libFOO-BAR-perl-dfsg
  Package: libFOO-BAR-perl
in their debian/control.

I.e. the binary packages still have the same names and still exist in
unstable, the source packages were renamed and the old ones removed.

(IIRC eloy and I discussed this on irc in autumn and came to this
solution after looking at other packages; I guess now I would just
change the upstream version number without renaming the source
package ...)

So it looks like this is more of an artefact of versions.pl than a
real problem.

Cheers,
