possible additions to perl-base for debconf



We're looking at putting debconf in the base tarball so it can be used to
configure apt and other things on fresh debian installs. But debconf depends
on a couple of modules that are in perl, not perl-base. If the following
modules could be put into perl-base, debconf could lose its perl dependancy
and get into the base tarball:

IPC::Open2
IPC::Open3
Data::Dumper (non-XS version only)
Text::Wrap (depends on Text::Tabs)
Fcntl

Are you willing to consider putting these modules into perl-base? I think
this would increase the package size by some 58k.
