Yes, I see. Thanks for the report. There are similar problems with
debian/copyright, and the perl-doc package (but not libcgi-fast-perl)
is also affected.

The loose dependencies are intentional so that perl-modules stays
installable when the arch-specific builds aren't ready yet,
so I suppose the symlinks need to be replaced with real directories.

(As noted in #522827, that's going to need some preinst trickery
because dpkg doesn't replace symlinks. If somebody has better ideas,
please speak up.)
