Debian FTP Master(s) and Niko,

Currently, perl-modules-5.34 and perl-modules-5.36 are libs/standard.

However, Debian Policy 2.5 Priorities:
    https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#priorities
states:
    "In particular, this means that C-like libraries will almost
    never have a priority above optional, since they do not provide
    functionality directly to users."

Since perl-modules-5.xx are not standalone packages and are in
Section:libs, I consider this Policy to apply to them.

Please change perl-modules-5.34 and perl-modules-5.36 from:
  * Priority: standard
to:
  * Priority: optional

perl 5.34.0 is Priority:standard" and Depends on perl-modules-5.34.
perl 5.36.0 is Priority:standard" and Depends on perl-modules-5.36.
Therefore, perl-modules-5.xx will still be pulled into Standard systems.

Thank you,
