Hi,
libwww5.808-perl came about a year ago to help with a transition:

It only exists in experimental. It has one reverse-dependency ---
liblwp-parallel-perl --- which is a leaf package. So far so harmless.
Unfortunately, it conflicts with and "Provides: libwww-perl". As

Indeed, this can cause the package to be installed to satisfy
dependencies without a person explicitly requesting so, resulting in
file conflicts that prevent upgrades --- Bug#623054 has details. No
response from the maintainers after several months.
Tagging moreinfo because if Richard or Steffen still cares about these
packages then I'm okay with not removing them.
