It does depend on libperl5.8 here, and that's because
usr/lib/purple-2/perl.so is linked against libperl.so.5.8, so
${shlibs:Depends} picks it up.
The libperl5.8 dependency is for binaries embedding perl, but the
perlapi-* dependency is to ensure the Perl XS binary module interface is
the right one. Here it's needed for usr/lib/perl5/auto/Purple/Purple.so .
For the purposes of the Perl 5.10 transition, the libperl5.8 dependency
already makes sure pidgin will be rebuilt. Missing perlapi-* is still a
violation of the Perl policy, though.
Just adding ${perl:Depends} (and running dh_perl) should do the right thing.
