However, please note that this implementation will most probably break again with versioned provides, which we hope to start using after jessie as they are a neat solution to certain other long standing issues around the perl package. So perl-modules will Provide: libhttp-tiny-perl (= 0.043) which satisfies the (>= 0~) dependency.
