QA tasks:
---------

update launchpad subscriptions
repo cleanup, part 1 (mail about never uploaded packages)
repo missing pushes reminder
go through autopkgtest/ci.debian.net failures and fix a few dozen regressions from prove --recurse
libgnome2-perl removal: https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/bts-usertags.cgi?tag=gnome2-removal&user=pkg-perl-maintainers%40lists.alioth.debian.org
go through RM-candidates
drop debian/tests/pkg-perl/smoke-tests since autopkgtest uses --recurse (unless for special cases)
autopkgtests: unify way we set HOME (unless for one special case)
autopkgtest: disable network tests (*NO_NETWORK*=1) where we do this during build
get rid of dpkg-parsechangelog in debian/rules (mostly, 2 cdbs packages left)
