In fact it was not 'perl-=version=-base | perl5-base' but 'perl-5.004-base |
perl5-base'. I did this because of the Debian policy, when we depend on a
virtual package we should indicate
"preferred_package_providing_virtual_package | virtual_package"
<Just checking>
Oh I see that I really wrote perl-=version=-base, that was not my intent.

But that's not mandatory. So you can remove it safely. It would have been
useful if we didn't have the perl fake package.
