That still leaves the modules deprecated in 5.12 (Class::ISA,
Pod::Plainer, and Switch.) 

Any packages in squeeze using those will break if perl is upgraded to
5.14 first, unless we leave a dependency in place for one release cycle.

Reviewing #580034, there are probably about 30-40 such packages. They
would make a rather long Breaks: list.

Not sure if just Recommending the separate packages is enough to
remove the need for Breaks: entries.
