Maybe libmessage-passing-zeromq-perl should be removed as well, it's got no rdeps:

$ dak rm -Rn libzeromq-perl libmessage-passing-zeromq-perl
Will remove the following packages from unstable:

libmessage-passing-zeromq-perl |    0.007-1 | source, all
libzeromq-perl |     0.23-1 | source
libzeromq-perl |  0.23-1+b1 | arm64, mips64el, ppc64el
libzeromq-perl |  0.23-1+b3 | amd64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc
libzeromq-perl |  0.23-1+b5 | s390x

Maintainer: Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>

Checking reverse dependencies...
No dependency problem found.


That would allow us to remove zeromq as libzeromq-perl is its last rdep.

Cheers,
