Bug#480727: libmodule-build-perl: the current version is also in the perl core

Package: libmodule-build-perl
Version: 0.2808.01-2
Severity: important

As discussed in #480256, it's useless to have libmodule-build-perl
0.2808.01 as separate package in lenny because it's already in
perl-modules.

There are quite a few packages that have versioned (build-)dependencies
on libmodule-build-perl; these should be changed to include perl-modules
(>= 5.10.0) as the first alternative.

% grep-dctrl -n -r -sPackage -FDepends,Build-Depends,Build-Depends-Indep 'libmodule-build-perl *(' /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.fi.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_source_Sources /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.fi.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-amd64_Packages|sort -u
bioperl
libmodule-scandeps-perl
libnet-dns-resolver-programmable-perl
libsvn-notify-mirror-perl
libtext-wikiformat-perl
mail-spf-perl

My opinion of the severity is alternating between 'serious' and 'important'...
