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. -- see shy jo
