I experienced the exact same thing, but didn't chase it too far for the
same reason. (In my case I wanted the postgresql-client, postgresql and
libpgsql-2.1 packages as well as the -dev.)
I tested this on i386 for consistancy and it fails the same way.
dh_gencontrol -a
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${perl:Depends}
The little investigating I've done leads me to believe that it's a
debhelper error. It could also be the way the dh_ scripts are being
called, but I doubt it. I'll send the debhelper maintainer a bug report.
As a side note, I spoke with the package maintainer (Oliver Elphick) and
he said that he wouldn't be making another release of 7.0.3 as 7.1 is due
out in a couple of weeks. He also said that this bug is was fixed in
7.1rc4 (the upstream version).
