Bug#635647: perl: lintian error: build-depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version (hurd)

Source: perl
Version: 5.12.4-2
Severity: normal

This lintian error is currently being triggered owing to the following
construct:

Build-Depends: procps | hurd

This looks like a legitimate dependency on an essential package, unless
I'm missing something.

That said, procps exists on hurd now, so maybe this doesn't need to stay
anyway.

Dominic.
