Ha, indeed, thanks and sorry for missing this detail.

geoip-database-extra: /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIPASNum.dat
geoip-database-extra: /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIPCity.dat


I guess libgeo-ip-perl could do with a recommends on geoip-database
and geoip-database-extra (currently it only depends on libgeoip1
which recommends geoip-database).
