Title:
  DEP8 fixes for xenial

Status in libapache2-mod-perl2 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in libapache2-mod-perl2 source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The biggest impact of this bug is in future apache2 (and others) SRUs. The libapache2-mod-perl2 DEP8 tests are run everytime apache2 is updated, and without the fixes from here, these tests will always fail. Time will be spent in debugging them, and eventually the fix will be found, just like I did for my apache SRU (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/1766186).

  Then maybe the SRU team might be convinced to ignore this failure, or
  ask for a special run with these patches applied showing that the new
  apache is fixed.

  It's unfortunate that to fix a test error we need to push an update
  out to our users, but I believe in the end this helps them as well,
  because it's one more test that will be run for future apache2
  updates.

  [Test Case]
  There is a PPA with test packages that can be used until these packages reach proposed. I suggest an autopkgtest run like the following:

  autopkgtest -o dep8-xenial-ppa -U -s --apt-pocket=proposed --setup-
  commands="sudo add-apt-repository -s -y -u ppa:ahasenack/libapache2
  -mod-perl2-dep8" -B libapache2-mod-perl2 -- qemu ./autopkgtest-xenial-
  amd64.img

  You will have to adjust the path for the autopkgtest image that you
  have. If you have none, create one with:

  autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud -a amd64 -v -r xenial

  That will create a autopkgtest-xenial-amd64.img file in your current
  directory.

  [Regression Potential]
  This is just test suite update, but new binaries will be produced. If build-depends of libapache2-mod-perl2 changed dramatically in xenial, this could produce an incompatible set of binaries, which would be a bug we would want to track down if happened.

  [Other Info]
  Here is a run with the packages from the aforementioned PPA: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ahasenack/deb8-modperl2-xenial-ppa/

  == Original Description ==
  There are two DEP8 tests that are failing constantly in xenial:
  t/apache/read.t
  t/filter/in_bbs_inject_header.t

  See http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/liba/libapache2-mod-
  perl2/xenial/amd64

  Debian has fixed them:
  libapache2-mod-perl2 (2.0.10-2) unstable; urgency=medium

    * Patch the test suite for Apache 2.4.24 compatibility.
      Thanks to Stefan Fritsch. (Closes: #849082)

  This is the diff:
  https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libapache2-mod-perl2/commit/?h=debian/buster&id=1a0e6c046960f816f0089d8d164f7fa9b077719f

  We should backport these to the xenial package, because libapache2
  -mod-perl2 is in the dependency tree of apache2 DEP8 tests and any
  apache2 update will trigger these test failures. Artful and higher
  already have the fixes.
