Hrm, interesting situation :)

The "logical" solution would be that they migrate together but
apparently britney+ci.d.n. don't consider this option.

Which, if I'm not mistaken, might be a hint to a missing dependency
or more probably a missing Breaks.

Maybe adding a Breaks to libconfig-model-perl on libconfig-model-tkui-perl
<< 1.371 and libconfig-model-itself-perl << 2.019 would help?

But before I dive too much into guesswork, let's add elbrus to the CC
as the domain expert :)
