Package: lintian
Version: 2.3.3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

As discussed in #552052, we now consider perl-modules an internal
implementation detail of the perl source package and discourage direct
dependencies on it.

This patch makes lintian no longer recommend a perl-modules dependency
for dual-lived modules.

I'm working on a lintian warning about existing dependencies, but
will submit that as a separate bug.

Thanks for your work on lintian,
