Bug#503016: podlators-perl: don't release with this, perl bundles a better version

Package: podlators-perl
Version: 2.1.2-1
Severity: serious
Justification: maintainer's opinion

The Pod::Man implementation bundled with perl/5.10.0-16 has cherry-picked
fixes from Podlators 2.1.3 and 2.2.0. The version currently in the
podlators-perl package is significantly inferior, although it overrides
the one bundled with perl when installed.

This package should be removed from testing. Additionally, the perl
package should probably conflict with podlators-perl (<< 2.2.0).
I'll clone a perl bug for this.

I think we should keep the package in unstable at least for now: upstream
development is active and new versions are going to take quite a while to
flow in through Perl upstream. I'll update it to 2.2.0 soon for starters.
