/usr/bin/perl-5.004 still present although perl-5.004 is not installed

[Paul Kimoto <kimoto@lightlink.com>]

On my Debian system since April 1998 I've had the perl, then perl-5.004,
then perl-5.005 packages.  Today I noticed that even though I have removed
perl-5.004 in favor of perl-5.005, /usr/bin/perl-5.004 is still on the
system.

I don't know whether this is a perl, dpkg, or other problem.

(I wouldn't mind if someone told me where to look to find out how to clean
up the situation.)
