Won't this have the potential to cause horrid things during partial
upgrades (of perl but not of all perl modules packages) and during
regular upgrades (for example, if perl is upgraded first, then some
postinst is ran that uses debhelper, and the potato debhelper is still
installed, perl will not be able to find the debhelper modules, and
things will break).
