It needs a bit of coordination with other transitions, as both the python and the OCaml 3.10.2 transition will also need some binNMUs, putting additional load on the buildds. I tried pinging Brendan in IRC a few times in the past two weeks to talk about the issue, but never was around at the right time to actually speak with him.

Well, the release goal list is frozen by now and I wouldn't like to make exceptions. On the other hand, I believe that having Perl 5.10 in lenny is *critical* [1]. Uploading the new version unstable will automatically make all of the transition bugs rc anyway, so please go ahead, happy NMUing.
