Package: libuuid-perl
Version: 0.02-3+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
libuuid-perl depends on the full perl package and I believe it only actualy
requires the functionality of perl-base.
This is of interest because the linux-base package (which is depended on by all
linux-image packages) uses libuuid-perl and this dependency therefore pulls perl
into the base system and forces it onto first ISO images etc.
I think this is trivially resolved by the patch below.
Ian.
