Like any wishlist bug this bug will stay out of the radar until we have
some more manpower.
I haven't tested the patch, but the main problem I see is that this is a
perl script. We certainly don't want to make libc6 or libc-bin depends
on perl, which will introduce another dependency loop. Also it's
probably not a good choice while people are trying to remove the usage
of perl in the base system.
