If I understand correctly, it means my packages will no longer be installable
on slink, which has no "perl5".
If so, it is a BIG problem. I really want my packages to be installable on
slink (until the final release of potato) because most users will not want
(rightly) to upgrade to unstable. dupload, for instance, is a simple Perl
script, which is happy with any perl >= 5.003 and I don't want to produce a
package which will not be installable on slink, without a good reason.
Did I miss something? Any workaround? A dummy "perl5" package for slink?
