It very much does. In the following commit, libnet-dns-perl dropped the
dependency on libio-socket-inet6-perl:
https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/libnet-dns-perl/commit/63eba12c74ffaec59cd951a1aac491a54de5c637

Either the autopkgtest of resource-agents relied on
libio-socket-inet6-perl being installed, or worse, resource-agents
relies on it. Either this change should be reverted (looks like it was
done very much on purpose, so I don't think so) or resource-agents must
add it to the Depends list (in the case the whole package needs it) and
this issue is RC, or resource-agents should add it to the depends list
of the autopkgtests that need it.
