This happens not to be the case. Please look at what I wrote:
perl is to ***supplement*** perl-base, which is ***required*** and
***essential***. This has *never* been implemented.
There is already too much confusion about this issue; please
do not spread any more.
The previous incorrect implementation had the package perl
*replacing* perl-base, which caused all kinds of grief.
