As the maintainer of the proj & libgeo-proj4-perl packages in Debian I'm
happy to see that Geo::Proj4 will be made compatible with PROJ 6.
The packages in Debian are currently frozen in preparation of the buster
stable release, so we're unlikely to transition to PROJ 6 soon. It is
high on my TODO list for after the buster release, though.
If Geo::Proj4 is compatible with PROJ 6 by that time we can keep it (and
Geo::Point) in Debian.
