There is a transition to 5.12 in progress, and the autobuilders have
been poked to rebuild all dependent packages.  There was a note to
debian-devel-announce which said not to upload new versions of
packages in order to allow perl 5.12 to get into testing.

I missed that bug.  Should flip maintainer/uploader on the next
package upload, as I didn't see the mail.

Given that this is a binary NMU, with no source changes and the vile
configure script is not particularly extraordinary, I'm guessing that
this is an issue with those build daemons.  Could be related to the
switch in eglibc versions.

I'll follow it up.
