Bug#719225: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl: cme check dpkg propose incorrect suggestion for value 'libarchive-extract-perl'

[Oleg Gashev]

Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Version: 2.037
Severity: normal

Pinto package have build depends Archive::Extract (>= 0.68).

% rmadison libarchive-extract-perl
 libarchive-extract-perl | 0.68-1 | jessie | source, all
 libarchive-extract-perl | 0.68-1 | sid    | source, all

% corelist -a Archive::Extract|grep 0.68
  v5.17.9    0.68      
  v5.17.10   0.68      
  v5.17.10   0.68      
  v5.17.11   0.68      
  v5.18.0    0.68   

After add libarchive-extract-perl | perl (>= 5.17.9) to Build-Depends-Indep
cme check dpkg propose incorrect suggestion:

% cme check dpkg

Suggestion 'perl' is incorrect.

Current perl version is 5.14.2.
Archive::Extract version is 0.48 from perl-modules package.

If I add libarchive-extract-perl to Build-Depends-Indep:
