Our tooling [1] already does that, but IIRC it prefers real packages over Provides.

It sounds like we should file a bug with the release team for manual removal from testing instead in this case? What makes the package "key" OOI? The package is provided by perl so removal from testing should be safe. Best Dominic

This package is considered a key package by our tooling and will not be automatically removed from bullseye. Why don't you request it to be removed from unstable with a RM bug filed against ftp.debian.org? Than it will automatically be removed from bullseye too.

Package: libhttp-tiny-perl Version: 0.076-1 Severity: serious Justification: maintainer libhttp-tiny-perl at this version should not be released with bullseye, since perl contains the same version.
