Ok, that's what I said. :) The package above DO conform to perl policy and
lintian procudes bunch of such warnings :
/rack/perso/paquets@p200$ lintian libmldbm-perl_2.00-5_all.deb 
W: libmldbm-perl: perl-script-needs-dependency "perl" usr/lib/perl5/MLDBM.pm require Tie::Hash

This warning should not be produced if there's a dependency on perl5 or
perl-5.\d{3} or perl-5.\d{3}-thread ... you will need to update your
database of perl modules with perl-5.005 too ...

I don't see any other bad report from lintian ... maybe other people here
have other problems ?

Simply correcting this for lintian 1.5 would be cool ...

Cheers,
