clarify role of dh_perl in policy



[please CC me on replies]

I think perl-policy 3.4.3. is a bit ambigous when talking about "the
dependencies". When I read the paragraph I thought that dh_perl, in
good tradition of dh_shlibdeps, computes the dependencies for used
perl libraries as well, which is not the case.

Maybe the fact that dh_perl only provides a dependency on the current
perl package should be made more clear. Of course beefing up dh_perl
to have the functionality would be nicer ... but I don't see how one
could easily do this correctly.

(A pseudopackage "perl-policy" where such wishlist items could be put
would be a good thing.)
