I did not mention that new countries.wml do include countries.def (aka
current countries.wml), so you only have to replace countries_perl by
countries in all documents (which is a very short list in fact).
The only problem I can see is if there was a
   #use wml::debian::countries
inside an ePerl section, but I checked and did not find any.
So even if I did not compile the whole site, I am quite confident with
this patch.
