[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#659428: ssake: Uses perl4 corelibs without Depends

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Dominic,

there is a fix in SVN for this problem.  I just like to clarify the
reason for not uploading and will act accordingly.  So there is no need
for NMU in this case (even if welcome in general).

Thanks for your QA work

       Andreas.
