Agenda from wiki
================

IN PROGRESS Perl 5.28 transition planning/packaging etc
IN PROGRESS add at least some autopkgtest checks to the src:perl packages? (782760)

fix or disable known flaky autopkgtest checks in pkg-perl packages so they don't harm testing migration of their dependencies (including perl itself)
IN PROGRESS possibly revisit src:perl versioned Provides, try to fix 867081

update packages to new upstream releases
IN PROGRESS/DONE? cleanup after alioth->salsa move (scripts, docs)
