Well, your original message included 'or provide some dummy-package
(also e.g. "exiftool)' ... ah, "dummy package" was the keyword, not
Provides, ok.

Anyway:
What I've done now confirms to our group policy (
http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/policy.html#package_naming_policy
) and common practice across other similar packages.

Yup, that's the separate package option. I'm not in favour of this
but if someone else from the pkg-perl team wants to go this way I
won't stop them.
