I doubt britney looks at recommendations for testing migration.

Let's go ahead with the RC bugs, it shouldn't hurt at this point.
As long as the bugs have the perl-5.12-transition usertag, I'm
sure they will get closed when it's time.

I also think the 5.10.1 packages should Provide: libclass-isa-perl and
the others. That way people can start adding (non-versioned) dependencies
with no ill effects. I'll probably add them for the next upload.

(switching to the bug again so I can refer to this easily in changelogs)
