Problem - dselect can't handle perl-5.004 with perl-5.005-doc



The perl-5.004 package Recommends: perl-5.004-doc; the perl-5.005
package Recommends: perl-5.005-doc.  Dselect in all its evilness will
automatically select Recommended packages.  Thus if perl-5.005 and
perl-5.004 are installed it selects both doc packages, and notices they
conflict, and tries to install one perl or the other.  Perhaps
perl-5.004-doc should be downgraded to a Suggest:?
