Geo::Proj4 is currently deprecated. We plan to remove it from Debian.

No no no!  That's totally wrong!
The proj library version 4 which my module uses has become deprecated.
After ages of stability, it got a version 5 and now even a version 6.
My code currently depends on some files from version which has disappeared.

On my short list for this month is an update to support version 6.
Do not remove it from Debian!
