I just checked the reverse dependencies too

> apt-cache rdepends libclass-xsaccessor-array-perl
libclass-xsaccessor-array-perl
Reverse Depends:
  padre

So we'll need to add a Provides for now too.

padre has depends on: libclass-xsaccessor-perl (>= 1.02),
libclass-xsaccessor-array-perl (>= 1.02)

I'm not sure if this means we need a dummy
libclass-xsaccessor-array-perl package for transitional purposes.
