Package: ftp.debian.org X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-p...@lists.debian.org Please consider raising perl's priority to important (and the same for the packages it depends on). I'll followup with the full list later as I had it only in emacs's scratch buffer a few days ago... The Priority: required and essential package perl-base ships the perl executable and some modules, but its content is not well defined (from what I understand it is mostly what debconf needs). I think perl meets the reuirement that it is expected to be installed by people familar with UNIX and we should provide the full version of perl by default instead of an ill-defined subset. Note that this increases the size Priority: important quite a bit, but I think in practice most systems will have perl anyway. And there's othing stopping people to remove it for truly minimal systems. Also note that (according to perl's changelog) the package was Priority: important in the past, though the changelog doesn't mention when or why the priority was reduced to standard.

I'll followup with the full list later as I had it only in emacs's scratch buffer a few days ago... It looks like it's just one more library besides perl and perl-modules themselves. Here is the list: perl Installed-Size: 22.1 MB Download-Size: 2652 kB perl-modules Installed-Size: 16.5 MB Download-Size: 2736 kB libdb5.3 Installed-Size: 1863 kB Download-Size: 671 kB So it increases the install size of the important package set by 40.4 MB and the download size by 5.9 MB. (For comparison, downgrading aptitude to standard reduced the install size by ~15 MB and download size by ~3 MB.)
