Update:
#753257 is unreproducible and #750240 has a patch now.
#750235 in libdevel-size-perl is probably the worst unsolved issue left,
it's needed by a dozen or so packages. I don't think it's a hard blocker
unless I've missed something important in the reverse dependencies.
There are currently about 40 bugs open with a patch. I don't expect the
count to go down much without an NMU campaign, so we should probably
start one.
There's a bunch of packages I haven't been able to test, particularly
because of #752803 (ossp-uuid), #751918 (net-snmp), and #750240
(libapache2-mod-perl2). The net-snmp package also has an unrelated problem
on kfreebsd-amd64 (#753144) which complicates things a bit.
