If this happened this is a bug yes. But was I trying to explain is that
if perl-5.005 is not installed, the binary perl modules are not upgraded
and thus will continue to work with perl-5.004.

But since new version of the binary perl module are available, they should
be installed and thus perl-5.005 should be pulled in.

Now that the perl upgrade is over we may simply change the perl fake
package to depend on perl-5.005 (I don't know how this will be managed).
