These two packages are meant to be installed together, split only for
arch any/all.

I'm a bit puzzled as to why this is a problem, since this particular
dependency exists in sarge and as far as I no caused no upgrade issues.

Note that the dependency expressed is not exactly circular, since the
perl-modules dependency on perl is "looser" than the inverse.  Don't
know if this matters for the problem you're trying to fix.
