I noticed that libobject-pad-slotattr-final-perl fails its
autopkgtests because of a deprecation warning:

This warning comes from Object::Pad 0.60 which renamed 'slots' to
'fields'.

Now in libobject-pad-slotattr-final-perl we could silence the
autopkgtest warnings or we could patch the code but still the module
and the package would be called *slot* …

So I looked at the MetaCPAN, and indeed, there is a renamed
distribution available: https://metacpan.org/dist/Object-Pad-FieldAttr-Final

I guess we should replace libobject-pad-slotattr-final-perl with
libobject-pad-fieldattr-final-perl …


Well, and this is not the only package with 'slot':

% apt-cache --names-only search libobject-pad-slot | grep -v dbgsym
libobject-pad-slotattr-final-perl - declare Object::Pad slots readonly after construction
libobject-pad-slotattr-isa-perl - apply class type constraints to Object::Pad slots
libobject-pad-slotattr-lazyinit-perl - lazily initialise Object::Pad slots at first read
libobject-pad-slotattr-trigger-perl - invoke an instance method after a :writer accessor

- marking them as serious as they currently block the perl 5.34
  transition (by way of blocking the rebuilt arch:any libobject-pad-perl
  as it breaks the 4 autopkgtests); this could be ignored, but the
  4 packages are doomed anyway, so an RC bug makes removal from
  testing more transparent.

I have just uploaded libobject-pad-fieldattr-final-perl to NEW. The
others will follow.

I guess the deprecated packages should go the RM route? Perhaps after
the new ones are accepted?

Not sure whether the waiting for the replacements to enter unstable is
strictly necessary. To me it just feels polite to possible users

\o/

Agreed.
