The package seems to be missing a versioned dependency (both build
and runtime) on libtest-simple-perl: Test2::V1 was only introduced in
1.302217 according to the changelog.
Things work on current sid, because the unversioned dependency
on libtest2-suite-perl pulls in the separate libtest-simple-perl,
which is new enough to provide Test2::V1. However, Perl 5.42 bundles
of Test2::Suite 1.302210, which does not have Test2::V1. So the
current unversioned dependency is satisfied without the separate
libtest-simple-perl package.
This can be fixed by {build-,}depending on either libtest2-suite-perl
(>= 1.302217) or libtest-simple-perl (>= 1.302217). I'm not sure how
long we want to keep mentioning libtest2-suite-perl separately; using
just test-simple-perl seems simpler. But whatever works is fine by me.
It might actually make sense to start Providing libtest2-v1-perl, if we
expect lots of packages moving to Test2::V1 in the near future. But I've
only noticed a handful in sid so far, so I guess that would be overkill.
A full build log is at

If you want to test changes against Perl 5.42 in experimental and run
into uninstallability problems, there is a test repository of rebuilt
Debian sid packages for amd64 available at <https://perl.debian.net/>.
Thanks for your work on Debian,
