Thanks!

The python-stetl issue is #906222 in gdal. I don't think this should be
a transition blocker, it's not Perl specific in any way.
The bzr package builds fine for me against Perl 5.28, but seems to have
sporadic build failures at https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/bzr .
So probably transient.
Release team: is there a long transition queue ahead of us?
How soon would it be feasible to start the transition?
Do you want to wait for Dam's rebuilds to finish before
going ahead? Clearly there are going to be very few issues.
