Definitely NOT ! Please read the packaging manual and learn how Debian
dependencies work. perl5 is a virtual package provided by both perl-5.004
and perl-5.005. No packages in Debian potato should depend on perl since
this is a fake & empty package ... You have to install perl-5.005 in
order to satisfy perl5 dependencies.
You can also check the new debian perl policy :
