The only thing I'd like is that lintian knows it doesn't need to complain about a missing perl dependeny if there a dependency on one of those package : - perl5 - perl-5.005 - perl-5.004 - perl-5.005-thread (even if it doesn't provide the modules, this package depends on perl-5.005 so that we can consider that the module will be installed if this package is installed) - perl5-thread Now, lintian may accept a line with "perl | <new_depends>" where new_depends is one of the above package (except the two *-thread) ... > Do you expect perl-5.005|perl-5.004 or perl5|perl-5.004 or any other > permutations.

I don't see the need of perl-5.004 | perl-5.005 since you can depend on perl5 in order to have the same dependency ... > Here is an example of the module dependency line.
