Package: perl Version: 5.14.2-12 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Since even oldstable shipped with gcc 4.3 as default gcc, versioned build-dep on gcc is quite unneccesary. A working compiler is already pulled in by build-essential. The current versioned build-dep on gcc is inconvinience if you want to try building with something else than gcc.
While at it, also remove versioned build-dep on cpio, as cpio 2.6-5 was now 7 years ago.. Riku
