This is #652638 (cc'd), which has some analysis. I believe it doesn't
affect squeeze->wheezy upgrades. Quoting myself there:

  Given this was only a transient sid problem in Debian, I'm leaving it
  up to libuuid-perl maintainers (= other pkg-perl folks) to decide if
  they want to include the above at all. I doubt there are many Debian
  users that would be affected anymore, but it might be worth it just to
  minimize the Ubuntu diffs.

  BTW, I don't think this qualifies as release critical for Debian, as the
  problematic trigger was only introduced in doc-base 0.10.0, and squeeze
  has 0.9.5.
