We already adopted arch-perl, but the source package is now called
libarch-perl.

migemo-perl says itself that it is obsolete:

  This is an obsolete version of migemo. A newer version is written in
  Ruby.

The Ruby version is also available in Debian (migemo).  Given that
nobody has adopted the package for almost a year, I say it can be
removed from Debian.  The popcon is also not very high: 16 for
migemo-perl and 35 for liblingua-romkan-perl, vote is even lower:
only 1 (6).  I will change [1] to a RM request.

Regards,
Ansgar
