If I look into the package, it seems, lintian is right. In the package
libsbml5-perl_5.10.0+dfsg-1_amd64.deb DEBIAN/control misses an entry for
perlapi-$Config{version}.

$LIBSBML_SOURCES/debian/control contains

Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${perl:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}

And in the build logs I can see the dh_perl call:
[...]
make[1]: Leaving directory '/«BUILDDIR»/libsbml-5.10.0+dfsg'
   dh_install -a -O--with-python2 -O--dbg-package=libsbml5-dbg
   dh_installdocs -a -O--with-python2 -O--dbg-package=libsbml5-dbg
   dh_installchangelogs -a -O--with-python2 -O--dbg-package=libsbml5-dbg
   dh_perl -a -O--with-python2 -O--dbg-package=libsbml5-dbg
[...]

https://lintian.debian.org/tags/missing-dependency-on-perlapi.html
says, that this should be sufficient to get the right entry.

I'm shure, this error is quite new.
