Why?  I thought the whole point of having a separate perl and
perl-base is that perl is not essential.

So as an intermediate state during an upgrade, it should be perfectly
fine to deconfigure perl or to upgrade it without immediately
configuring it.

Reassigning to APT.  Please feel free to reassign back to libc6 or
perl when the problem is clearer.
