That's actually in Perl Policy, 4.4.1:
"In the absence of an explicit requirement, architecture-independent
modules must depend on a minimum perl or perl-base version of
5.6.0-16 due to the changes in @INC introduced by that version."
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/perl-policy/ch-module_packages.html

(Hm, 5.6.0-16 != 5.6.0-12.)

(Not that it's really useful nowadays but it seems noone has bothered
about it yet ...)
 
Cheers,
