The 'current' source I looked at was the tarball you put on nocrew.
And apologies if I'm reading PM after the mail on my lab account - it goes

You're right. So it boils down to fixing the perl-base / libnet combination
(or telling people 'get perl_5.004.04-3.deb if you want to perform an FTP install).

See above: they're for the new boot-floppies tarball.
