Package: debfoster

Severity: important

Hi,
I use debfoster in an automated way when building system images, to
clean up the image of unwanted packages.
For that, I use:
debfoster -oMaxPriority=standard -f <list of packages I want to keep>
<list of packages I want to keep> includes openssh-server.
However, on Debian testing, this removes openssh-server and perl.
Dropping -f:
> # debfoster -oMaxPriority=standard openssh-server
>
> libperl5.40 is keeping the following 3 packages installed:
> libgdbm-compat4t64 perl perl-modules-5.40
> Keep libperl5.40? [Ynpsiuqx?], [H]elp:
So debfoster thinks it can remove libperl5.40, even if it removes perl,
which also removes ucf, which also removes openssh-server.
That looks wrong.
