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.
Oops, thanks for catching and analyzing this.And yes, the libtest-simple-perl / libtest2-suite-perl situation is a bit confusing, for both humans and tools.
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.
Ack, I prefer libtest-simple-perl (>= 1.302217) as well.
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.
Agreed, it's also nothing I noticed on a wider scale.
