Bug#941232: libtext-wrapi18n-perl used to depend on perl-base, not perl

Package: libtext-wrapi18n-perl
Version: 0.06-8
Severity: normal

The latest version of libtext-wrapi18n-perl is a packaging rewrite to
use dh(1) (yay!), but seems to lose some magic from the older versions.

Specifically, older versions of debconf deps like libtext-wrapi18n-perl
had some magic in place to make sure they had perl-base and perlapi deps
but didn't pull in the full perl package, so that having debconf-i18n at
a high priority didn't drag all of perl in behind.

If said magic could be rediscovered and restored, that would be lovely.

Thanks,

... Adam
