That's interesting idea. I only worry there could be cases when the
perl-generators were unnecessarily installed. E.g. you install vim-enhanced,
thus you have perl-libs, and you install rpm-build for building non-perl
packages. Then you will have perl-generators. I'm not sure how much it
would bother people.
