Bug#867313: perl: versioned Provides shouldn't go to testing before wanna-build is fixed

Package: perl
Version: 5.24.1-5
Severity: serious

As discussed in #867104, some packages are currently stuck in the
'B-D-Uninstallable' state because dose-builddebcheck is not
considering a real package and a versioned virtual package
coinstallable.

Therefore the src:perl versioned Provides currently in sid are not
suitable for release before #867104 is fixed and the fix is deployed
on the wanna-build host. This bug is intended to make sure the changes
don't enter testing prematurely.

I'm not marking #867104 as a blocker for this as the other way to
close this is to revert the versioned Provides (hopefully temporarily.)
I intend do that this weekend or early next week if #867104 needs time.
