I did this now and pushed to the 'ntyni/inc-version-list'
branch of the Debian perl git repository.

The relevant changes are

A test build fixes the polymake issue and doesn't seem to break anything
major.

I'm inclined to reassign this bug to perl and close it with the above
change unless I hear arguments to the contrary.

Thanks,
