I think it'd be better to consider the packaging - should those scripts
be in this subpackage at all?  Do they belong somewhere else, or do they
even need to be shipped?  If they belong with the data... then it's
probably correct for the data package to depend on perl.

Don't just try do things to avoid dependencies, understand why it's
there.
