I've been working with the previous perl5.005 package (the one that had
been uploaded to slink and retracted after) and I did not have many
problems. Many of them were only paths problems (that may not appear with the
official perl5.005 package). And I've already filled
some bugs against netbase and netstd so that the packages do not break
when perl5.005 is uploaded. Some other packages may need little changes
but that would not be a problem.
I'll propose myself as coordinator for the perl5.005 upgrade (you did explain
that you wanted a coordinator for each release goal).

I'll join too.

I hope that you'll include my NMU of dpkg. It didn't get installed into
stable-updates so far ...
