Package: libgraphics-colornames-perl
Version: 2.11-7
Severity: important
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.24-transition
X-Debbugs-Cc: perl at packages.debian.org

This package Build-Depends on perl-modules-5.22 | libmodule-load-perl,
but perl-modules-5.22 is not built from any source in sid anymore and
will get removed as cruft sooner or later.

Rather than switching to perl-modules-5.24, please just drop that
alternative and depend only on libmodule-load-perl. As long as the
dependency is unversioned, the virtual package provided by perl-modules-*
satisfies it just fine.

If you need to depend on something in perl-modules-5.xx that isn't
provided as a virtual package, please declare the dependency on 'perl'
instead. The perl-modules-5.xx packages should be considered internal
implementation details of the perl package that only exist to save
archive space.
