Bugger, yes.

They're both generated by the cross-build of perl (#633884). Config.pm
is the core config script used by the Makefile in a perl module to
work out config. It, in turn, requires Config_heavy.pm.

\/usr\/lib\/perl\/v\d+\.\d+\.\d+\/Config.pm
might work? i.e. tie it down. Of course, with m-a this path is going
to change at the same time as a lot of dpkg-cross has to change (or
even goes away?)
