installing the perl-5.\d+-doc packages
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hmm. I thought this worked before. perl-5.005-doc isn't automatically
replacing perl-5.004-doc. I thought with the following it should.
Is this working/not-working for others? Ah. I see it, it works with
apt-get but not dpkg raw.
I don't remember enough about the current bugs in dpkg to understand why
this happens...
