perl-5.005-base conflicting with non-versioned Perl



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

The current control file for perl-5.005-base looks like this:
Package: perl-5.005-base
Version: 5.005.03-0.8
Architecture: i386
Pre-Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1), libgdbmg1
Suggests: perl-5.005
Conflicts: perl
Replaces: perl-base
Provides: perl5-base
Installed-Size: 1140
Maintainer: Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>
Source: perl-5.005
Description: The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister

This should keep it from being installed if non-versioned Perl is still
installed.  It occurs to me that should make this
Conflicts: perl-base
instead so that if someone has never installed the full Perl package,
it will still conflict with the perl-base installed.

I wanted to check this with folks more savvy than I in dpkg conflicts
setup.

Thanks,
  Darren
