Bug#542694: libio-compress-base-perl: uninstallable with Perl 5.10.1, needs to be removed

[Niko Tyni]

Package: libio-compress-base-perl
Version: 2.015-1
Severity: wishlist

Perl 5.10.1 RC2 bundles IO::Compress::Base 2.020 as part of IO-Compress.

This means that the separate libio-compress-base-perl package will become
uninstallable when perl 5.10.1 enters sid.

It seems clear to me that this package has to be removed, possibly in
favour of libio-compress-perl if we want to keep that as a separate
package (see #538214).

There are versioned reverse dependencies in the archive, but they are
all part of the new IO-Compress distribution, so it should be possible
to remove them all together when 5.10.1 has been uploaded.

Setting severity to 'wishlist' for now, but it's definitely going to be
upgraded later.
