I think that /usr/lib/perl5/auto/DBI/DBI.so is used only by perl's
Autoloader. This means we only have to depend on a perl that is compiled
with the new glibc/gcc (and not rename the package).

I guess we can use 5.8.8.11-1 as the one in testing (5.8.8-7) is the
same as in stable anyway (and thus uses 64-bit long doubles)?
