[Bug 2042100] Re: [MIR] libmatch-simple-perl (libio-prompter-perl dependency)

[Danilo Egea Gondolfo]

Currently, the only package in main depending on libio-prompter-perl
(which is the reason why we are considering this MIR) is libgitlab-
api-v4-perl.

libgitlab-api-v4-perl was moved to main during the Focal cycle and I
can't find any LP bug explaining why. There is no other package
depending on libgitlab-api-v4-perl. While it *sounds like* a package
that should be in main, if we move it back to universe, libio-prompter-
perl could also be moved to universe and none of these MIRs would be
necessary. Not saying we should do that, just raising the question...

Title:
  [MIR] libmatch-simple-perl (libio-prompter-perl dependency)

Status in libio-prompter-perl package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in libmatch-simple-perl package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  TBD by Foundations

  It looks like we actually need the new dependency + MIR as the
  smartmatch operator is going to be deprecated in Perl 5.38+.

  libmatch-simple-perl implements a compatible "match::smart" operator,
  besides its "match::simple".

  We should consider if we can drop the libmatch-simple-xs-perl
  Recommends, keeping only the libio-prompter-perl -> libmatch-simple-
  perl -> libsub-infix-perl dependency chain. libmatch-simple-xs-perl
  seems to support the "match::simple" operator only, which seems
  unneeded here.
