I don't get what you want to express:

$ LANG=C apt-cache policy libparse-debcontrol-perl
libparse-debcontrol-perl:
  Installed: 2.005-3
  Candidate: 2.005-3
  Version table:
 *** 2.005-3 0
        501 http://http.debian.net/debian/ testing/main amd64 Packages
         50 http://http.debian.net/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
$ LANG=C apt-cache policy libdpkg-perl
libdpkg-perl:
  Installed: 1.16.8
  Candidate: 1.16.8
  Version table:
 *** 1.16.8 0
        501 http://http.debian.net/debian/ testing/main amd64 Packages
         50 http://http.debian.net/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
 
Both modules have version >= 1.00.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
