I don't think it has to.  courier-filter-perl is only in Debian/testing
(and unstable, but not in older distros), and every version of Perl that
is in testing is absolutely sufficient.

After all, packages requiring Perl 5.6 don't have to explicitly depend on
it either, do they?  Let alone 5.005.  At least I can't read that from
policy section 3.5.

If you are backporting the package, you are doing so at your own risk and
should adapt the dependencies yourself.  What do you think?
