Package: amanda-common
Version: 1:3.3.6-4
Severity: serious
Justification: package uninstallable
Control: tags -1 + patch sid

The perl 5.22 transition just started (see
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/12/msg00005.html)
and we seem to have missed that this package depends on the deprecated
virtual package "perl5" like some other packages did.

The perl 5.22 packages don't provide perl5, making this package
uninstallable.

I'm sorry that we overlooked this prior to the unstable upload. Please
find attached a patch fixing this.
