      perl |   5.12.3-6 |       testing | source, amd64, armel, i386, ia64, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc

One casualty (besides the removed packages to make some space in
testing) is libsvn-perl and its reverse dependencies on kfreebsd, which
are now uninstallable.
