Found that the cause is "inherit cpan-base", this hardcodes "perl" into the package.

I think this requires a split-up of cpan-base.bbclass into two parts, so that one get obtain the perl version without adding these dependencies.

I've been researching this for a while, but failed to figure out what
causes this runtime relation. Is there a way to find out where this is
being "detected"?

The workaround I implemented is simply adding this line to the samba
recipe, which at least gets rid of the overhead in the image:

RDEPENDS_${PN}_remove = "perl"

(Samba 4 is bloated enough by itself, it doesn't need other packages to
inflate its runtime even more)
