You don't need a separate libfile-spec-perl, as File::Spec is part of
perl-5.{004,005,6}. Just depend on perl5 or whatever as normal.
lintian still needs to be updated manually for new Perl modules; I've
heard mutterings about doing it automatically, but this hasn't happened
yet. For File::Spec, see bug #58946.
At the moment I think I wouldn't worry too much about this particular
class of Lintian warnings, if you're sure that the dependencies are
correct.
