Well, there obviously was an upstream release and META.yml should be
correct. The API is still experimental and might change. Tests are still
not different.

Yes, gregoa already recognized that, see
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-perl/packages/libx11-xcb-perl.git;a=blob;f=debian/changelog;h=9ef2867a8759588fc8cee3cdb3bafc9061a768b6;hb=HEAD

True, but then again, X11::XCB is not of much use to anyone except for
low-level X11 testcases. Also, installing it using "cpanm X11::XCB" is
pretty straight-forward (you need xsltproc, libXau-dev, libxdmcp-dev,
cpanminus) and expected when running the i3 testsuite anyways (to get
the latest and greatest version).
Best regards,
Michael
