I strongly disagree that this is a serious violation. Completely omitting the changelog is a serious violation. There being the possibility of a slight difference between perl/perl-modules is hardly so, and for a working package in the stable distribution the intent is that there be no difference. For the sake of preventing further Policy lawyer bugs of this variety, I vote that we fix this "problem" by simply nailing the dependencies between perl-base/perl/perl-modules to an exact equivalence. This may render perl un-installable in unstable at times for some architectures, but heck the most important thing is obviously sticking to the letter of Policy, so let's do it. --bod -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
