Seems to be fixed in 6.3 upstream release, which is half-prepared in 
group's SVN repository.

TODO from there:
  - add libdate-calc-xs-perl to B-D-I -- or not, because
  - t/f000.t checks the version of libdate-calc-xs-perl and errors out 
    if it's different - might lead to problems if an older version is 
    installed (libdate-calc-xs-perl seems to depend on 
    libdate-calc-perl >= its own version)
  - Q: what does "United "Date::Calc" and "Date::Pcalc" into a single 
    distribution" (and the changelog entry below) tell us? we have 
    also libdate-pcalc-perl
