It should be noted that dpkg-dev in unstable now also depends on
perl:any.  This does not cause problems yet, but only because
libdpkg-perl depends on perl and debootstrap silently ignores any
dependencies it cannot resolve, which is a bug in itself.

This bug is a ticking time bomb, would be nice to apply my patch before
it explodes.

Cheers,
