Hi,

A new libversion-perl has been uploaded, but I see you added the testing
removal hint (which is fine; right now it serves no purpose whilst
the perl package has the same version). We'd like to keep the option
of having a separate package in testing though, if a newer release
comes out.

Cheers,
