Dependency problem in libsub-quote-perl and libmoo-perl

Hi,

While upgrading my Debian system I ran in a dependency problem with libsub-quote-perl and 
libmoo-perl (which are indirect dependencies of gnucash).

libmoo-perl (2.002005-1) used to have the following files :
usr/share/man/man3/Sub::Defer.3pm.gz
usr/share/man/man3/Sub::Quote.3pm.gz
usr/share/perl5/Sub/Defer.pm
usr/share/perl5/Sub/Quote.pm

Those files are now provided by libsub-quote-perl and are no more present in libmoo-perl, 
at least as of version 2.005005-1, but libsub-quote-perl does not mention any dependency 
on libmoo-perl or conflicts with older versions of libmoo-perl leading to a dpkg error 
during system upgrade.

---------
Préparation du dépaquetage de .../libsub-quote-perl_2.006009-1_all.deb ...
Dépaquetage de libsub-quote-perl (2.006009-1) ...
dpkg: erreur de traitement de l'archive 
/var/cache/apt/archives/libsub-quote-perl_2.006009-1_all.deb (--install) :
  trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man3/Sub::Defer.3pm.gz', which is also in package 
libmoo-perl (2.002005-1)
-----------

I fixed this on my side by upgrading libmoo-perl manually, but you should fix this for 
others ;)

Thanks
