Hello,

In 2.105, Lintian introduced a new dependency libio-prompt-tiny-perl.
In Ubuntu, lintian is part of the main pocket, whereas
libio-prompt-tiny-perl is part of universe, so syncing lintian means
that we have to include this new dependency in main.

However, we already have libio-prompter-perl in main via another
dependency chain, and looking at the APIs, I believe it would be
possible to simply change "use IO::Prompt::Tiny qw(prompt);" to "use
IO::Prompter qw(prompt);" without any significant impact. Would you be
willing to consider such a change?

Thanks,
