Unfortunately I recalled the other day that this release includes some
Perl API deprecations that emit warnings on use, and forgot to handle
those when I implemented them. And handled devscripts on Friday, but
only checked for further usage today. :/

I've submitted changes now for:

  debhelper
  - https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debhelper/-/merge_requests/141
  devscripts
  - https://salsa.debian.org/debian/devscripts/-/merge_requests/599
    (Already merged and uploaded by Holger, thanks!)
  - https://salsa.debian.org/debian/devscripts/-/merge_requests/601
  pkg-kde-tools
  - https://salsa.debian.org/qt-kde-team/pkg-kde-tools/-/merge_requests/17
  pkg-js-tools
  - https://salsa.debian.org/js-team/pkg-js-tools/-/merge_requests/20

Given the potential for autopkgtest failures due to unexpected output
on stderr, I'll be probably holding off the dpkg upload until debhelper
and devscripts have been uploaded.

Thanks,
Guillem
