[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#603581: libnss-mdns: Please drop unnecessary perl dependency

[Martin Pitt]

Package: libnss-mdns
Version: 0.10-3.1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch natty

libnss-mdns doesn't actually use Perl anywhere except for a call in
the maintainer script. But that doesn't import any modules, so
perl-base will do just fine. Please drop the unnecessary perl
dependency, so that it's possible to install this package without Perl
(embedded and space constrained environments).

Thanks for considering,

Martin
