Results for mass autopkgtest run for all perl packages [2014-09-17]

It's fixed in git, but I'd like 3.5.1 propagate to testing before I
upload a new one. But I can run the new full test from git.

Sure! I started this. I expect this to finish in about 12 hours, so
I'll report the results either tonight (if I get to it), or tomorrow
morning.

I don't have a strong opinion. I'm slightly leaning towards well-known
values to guard against typos, but I'll let the lintian maintainers
weigh in, too. Would you mind filing this as a bug and CC: the
autopkgtest list?

Thanks,

Martin
