Thanks for spotting this. Indeed the package doesn't contain a
/usr/lib/perl directory at all (in a locally built package).

There are two interesting points:
* You are using libversion-perl 1:0.7400-3 from unstable but perl
  5.8.8. from testing. Upgrading to perl 5.10 should fix your
  original problem, because version.pm is included there in perl-modules.
  (And libversion-perl is already scheduled for removal, cf. #480458)
* I tried to fix the problem anyway but libversion-perl doesn't build
  in my sid cowbuilder chroot (well, a rather empty package is indeed
  created). The error is:

cc -I/usr/lib/perl/5.10/CORE -fPIC -c -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O2 -g -o /tmp/compilet.o /tmp/compilet.c
cc -shared -O2 -g -L/usr/local/lib -o /tmp/compilet.so /tmp/compilet.o
 - ERROR: perl (5.10.0) is installed, but we need version < 5.009

(The buildds show the same error:
http://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=libversion-perl)

At the moment I'm not sure if we can do anything ...

Cheers,
gregor
