Are you certain that your copy of perl-base is:
1) Reasonably up-to-date (at least compared to your copy of perl), and
2) Not corrupt or missing part of it?

I ask because pbuilder build trees from the middle of December
(at least as far back as December 11th) on my machine show
utf8_heavy.pl installed in /usr/share/perl/5.8.4/utf8_heavy.pl

utf8_heavy.pl should be installed on your machine, and it should be a
part of perl-base.  Please try:

  apt-get install --reinstall perl-base

and then look at this bug report again.  Also, check what package owns
the file /usr/share/perl/5.8/utf8.pm with:

  dpkg -S /usr/share/perl/5.8/utf8.pm

Because there is no such file on my system.  utf8.pm should by in
/usr/share/perl/5.8.4

In any case, if you don't have utf8_heavy.pl, it's not a bug against
bins - your perl install is messed up, which (depending on how it got
that way) may be a bug against perl.  I suspect that at this point you
can't do a simple:

  perl -e 'use utf8;'
