I've requested removal of libtime-piece-perl[0] and libparent-perl[1],
which are the only packages currently uninstallable due to be being
dual-lived, as far as I can see.
The rest of the packages at
<http://lintian.debian.org/tags/package-superseded-by-perl.html>, currently:
libextutils-command-perl
liblocale-maketext-simple-perl
libperl-ostype-perl
libtest-simple-perl
libthread-queue-perl
libtime-local-perl
are redundant, because they have the same version as perl, but they
are installable, so they are not really the subject of this bug.
Therefore I'm closing this one now.
Note: before many of the above lintian warnings can be fixed, the
warnings from
<http://lintian.debian.org/tags/versioned-dependency-satisfied-by-perl.html>
need to be fixed.
Cheers,
Dominic.
