See Niko Tyni's reply in [1], which according to a short discussion on
IRC yesterday probably still needed:

[...]
[15:02] < carnil> Dom: Bill refers also to the libswitch-perl case, this can be done in same way right? (i.e. removing ${perl:Depends} completely
[15:04] < Dom> no - See Niko's message in the original bug
[15:05] < Dom> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=649101#25
[15:05] < Dom> we're going with "stick with the circular dependency for one release"
[15:06] < carnil> Dom: ah I see, thanks for the pointer
[15:07] < Dom> there should probably be a wontfix separate bug for libswitch-perl
