Bug#834797: lintian: depends on libdata-alias-perl, broken with Perl 5.24

[Niko Tyni <ntyni@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.46
Severity: important
User: debian-perl@lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.24-transition

This package depends and/or build-depends on libdata-alias-perl, which
breaks with Perl 5.24 (currently in experimental.)  See #825011.

It looks like we will have to drop libdata-alias-perl from stretch to
get Perl 5.24 in, so please look at dropping the dependency one way or
another.

In some cases the 'refaliasing' feature in Perl >= 5.22 may be a
replacement; quoting Data::Alias documentation:

       Perl 5.22 added some support for aliasing to the Perl core.  It has
       a different syntax, and a different set of operations, from that
       supplied by this module; see "Assigning to References" in perlref.
       The core's aliasing facilities are implemented more robustly than
       this module and are better supported.  If you can rely on having
       a sufficiently recent Perl version, you should prefer to use the
       core facility rather than use this module.  If you are already
       using this module and are now using a sufficiently recent Perl,
       you should attempt to migrate to the core facility.
