Doesn't occur with perl_5.10.1-18. Fortunately, dpkg -i still works,
so it's possible to switch perl versions.

I don't know... "glibc/perl issue" is a rather short description. I guess
that your Locale::gettext module is just incompatible with your current
perl installation.
Have you tried recompiling liblocale-gettext-perl with your custom perl?
In any case, I don't see any dpkg bug here and the perl in sid/wheezy
works just fine with the liblocale-gettext-perl in sid/wheezy so I'm going
to close this bug now.
Cheers,
