That would be marvellous, thanks!

Yes, that exact same tag in fact (coincidentally), although I've only
applied it to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgstreamer-perl/+bug/749146
so far and that's fixed now.  I'm not very good at doing mass bug filing
for this kind of thing.

Similarly, I've tagged a couple of bugs 'openssl-1.0.0-transition'.

This Debian usertag may be useful too (it may have been the one you
meant):

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=perl-5.12-transition-ftbfs-sid;users=debian-perl@lists.debian.org
