Note that libsys-info-base-perl is the package for the CPAN
distribution https://metacpan.org/release/Sys-Info-Base which does
not contain Sys::Info.

Sys::Info is in https://metacpan.org/release/Sys-Info which
apparently is currently not available in Debian; maybe this
should be changed … Interestingly the metadata of Sys-Info-Base don't
refer to Sys::Info, just some examples in the documentation.
