Note that in addition, since perl 5.8.0 includes some modules which were
previously stand-alone, any package declaring a versioned[0] dependency
on:

      libdigest-md5-perl, libmime-base64-perl, libnet-perl,
      libtime-hires-perl, libstorable-perl,
      libattribute-handlers-perl, libcgi-perl, libi18n-langtags-perl,
      liblocale-maketext-perl, libmath-bigint-perl, libnet-ping-perl,
      libtest-harness-perl, libtest-simple-perl

needs to either have the version for that dependency removed, or just to
depend on perl (>= 5.8.0).

[0] The 5.8.0 perl packages do provide these so un-versioned
    dependencies are fine, dpkg/apt just don't support versioned
    provides.
