Package: init-system-helpers Version: 1.20 Severity: important Hello,
perl is separate from perl-base so that in tight environement, Debian can be installed with only perl-base. A base system installed by d-i, notably, is supposed to only install perl-base, not perl. It happens however that d-i installs rsyslog, which depends on init-system-helpers, which depends on perl. Is the whole perl really needed? If some modules are needed, they could be moved to perl-base, to save having to install the whole perl on all Debian base systems.
