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

[Lukas Märdian]

devscripts is what's pulling in that libgitlab-api-v4-perl perl
dependency (Recommends). Which can also be seen from the seeds:
https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/germinate-
output/ubuntu.noble/all+extra

Indeed, we could consider downgrading that devscripts Recommends to a
Suggests (if that's sensible), to cut the tree even further and get a
few packages demoted on the way.

$ reverse-depends src:libgitlab-api-v4-perl -c main
Reverse-Recommends
==================
* devscripts                    (for libgitlab-api-v4-perl)

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.
