[Bug 1957100] Re: Merge lintian 2.114.0 from Debian unstable

[Alexandre Ghiti]

Lintian 2.114 introduces lots of new dependencies which require MIR:

* libdata-validate-uri-perl
  + libdata-validate-ip-perl
     - libnet-ipv6addr-perl
       * libmath-bigint-perl
          + libscalar-list-utils-perl
     - libnet-netmask-perl
* libsyntax-keyword-try-perl
  + libxs-parse-keyword-perl
* libencode-perl
* libhtml-tokeparser-simple-perl
* libwww-mechanize-perl
  + libhttp-server-simple-perl
* plzip

It is not possible to avoid perl5.34-related new dependencies as
perl5.34 landed in Jammy. Other dependencies are not straightforward to
eliminate either.

It's been discussed in the foundations team and it was decided to merge
this version and do the MIR (if needed) after the sprint next week.

FWIW, I have given Simon's patches a new try in my PPA at [1], and it
successfully built.
