Ack.
(And it should be perl instead of -modules.)

Just depending on libmodule-corelist-perl would be a good first
start, I guess.

Besides that we'd need libmodule-build-perl >= 0.400000 since we're
adding trailing zeros in Debian :/

AFAIK both the perl package and lintian have some stuff to handle
perl dependencies, maybe we could steal ideas?

Cf. e.g. the last commits at
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=lintian/lintian.git;a=summary (by
Niko, pushed by Niels).

This looks nice (correct libmodule-build-perl):
