Bug#627865: libnet-ssleay-perl: FTBFS due to dependency cycle (Perl 5.12 migration)

And here’s a full cycle. What’s worse:

root at ara2:~ # apt-cache show lib{test-kwalitee,module-cpants-analyse,www,lwp-protocol-https,io-socket-ssl}-perl | grep ^Arch
Architecture: all
Architecture: all
Architecture: all

Architecture: all

The arch:all packages here come directly from Debian unstable,
which means they’re all up to date. I wonder why nobody has
seen that yet… anyway, due to this cycle I cannot recompile
libnet-ssleay-perl (the only !arch:all package in it) against
Perl 5.12.
