We're looking at putting debconf in the base tarball so it can be used to
configure apt and other things on fresh debian installs. But debconf depends
on a couple of modules that are in perl, not perl-base. If the following
modules could be put into perl-base, debconf could lose its perl dependancy
and get into the base tarball:

IPC::Open2
IPC::Open3
Data::Dumper (non-XS version only)
Text::Wrap (depends on Text::Tabs)
Fcntl

Are you willing to consider putting these modules into perl-base? I think
this would increase the package size by some 58k.
