I can prepare and upload a new libtext-csv-perl (from CPAN upstream)
that recommends libtext-csv-xs-perl (our old libtext-csv-perl without
the patch)
Transition should be ok (as our old libtext-csv-perl and the new
new provide the same interface)
I would add a NEWS.Debian explaining that it is better to also
install libtext-csv-xs-perl (to not loss performances)
Or, for lenny, we can make libtext-csv-perl depends on libtext-csv-xs-perl
What do you think ?
