Cool, thanks a lot!

It's also my impression that this is supposed to be fixed on the
lintian side.

For libclass-accessor-perl I've been thinking about adding
Breaks: lintian (<= 2.2.16~)
to keep the package away from not-yet-upgraded systems before lintian
gets upgraded.

/*
lintian is at 2.2.15 now, and
2.2.15 <= 2.2.16~ <= 2.2.16
*/

Does that sound helpful?

Cheers,
gregor
