My suggestion in #987615 (which I also copied to usrmerge@pdo, being unaware of #985957) is to introduce separate packages of the usrmerge dependencies, and limit their dependencies to perl-base only. This does not grow perl-base and can be phased out later, so it does not impose a permanent cost on everybody. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org
