ftpmasters replied it was a mistake so there's obviously nothing wrong
with that, but I had the impression that it was always safer to provide
a real package as an alternative of a virtual one: I don't see where it
would hurt backporting to use
libversion-perl | perl-modules (>= 5.10.0-13 -- or whichever version got
the library in)
Does it make sense ?
Cheers,
Vincent
