Package: perl
Version: 5.10.0-21

Hi

I just noticed that doing upgrades on desktop systems from lenny to squeeze, 
perl pulls in make. This can't be expected behaviour.
It was requested in 293908, but I_don't agree with the submitter that this is 
what should be done.

Note that Recommends is installed by default, so this change is effectively 
installing make on all systems.

I would like to see this reverted before release, or downgraded to a Suggests.
