FWIW, perl-modules-5.24 Provides: liblocale-codes-perl, so unless
anything requires a versioned dependency during the upgrade process a
simple dependency on libl-c-p should be sufficient.

For completeness, the error message:

ePerl:Error: Perl runtime error (interpreter rc=0)

 Contents of STDERR channel: -
Locale::Codes will be removed from the Perl core distribution in the next 
major release. Please install the separate liblocale-codes-perl package. It is 
being used at /usr/share/perl/5.28/Locale/Language.pm, line 22.

Bug#924143: www.debian.org: debian.org metapackage: add dependency for Locale::Codes

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: www.debian@packages.debian.org
Usertags: scripts

Hi,

While working on rebuilding the website within stretch and buster, I've
noticed the following.

When building on buster, the Perl upgrade changes at least one thing:
one needs to install an extra package to get the Locale::Codes module.
It used to be shipped under perl-modules, but now has its own separate
package.

In stretch, it's provided by:
  perl-modules
  perl-modules-5.24

In testing/sid, it's shipped in:
  liblocale-codes-perl | 3.59-1| testing| source, all
  liblocale-codes-perl | 3.60-1| unstable   | source, all

so it looks to me the debian.org metapackage could gain a dependency
like the following, to ensure the extra package gets installed when
moving to buster?

  liblocale-codes-perl | perl-modules-5.24

which should be installable in stretch and allowing a transition to
the real package (liblocale-codes-perl) when the host gets dist
upgraded to buster?
