you do not have to. I was wrong, thats it. I just stretched the meaning
of the critical severity to far. My reaction derives from the feeling that its
somehow strange that a package that does not actually contain a bug is
considered release-critical buggy while the package which causes the
bug isn't.

Anyway I'm pretty sure that the perl maintainers do a good job
and it will be fixed until the release (hopefully more early) so its
okay anyway.

Thanks for your
