Right, libversion-perl doesn't have the 5.10.0 dependency because it's
empty so ${perl:Depends} is unset.

Yes, we need something like this until we can remove libversion-perl
altogether (#480458).
I'd prefer doing this from the libversion-perl source package instead of
perl itself, particularly because it's (hopefully) temporary.
The quick and dirty solution would be to just hardcode 'perl-modules
(>= 5.10)' in the dependencies for now.
A cleaner one would do the right thing and generate a proper package
when built on 5.8 too, but that's not probably worth the effort.
