Thanks.

I see there's a bug in Module::Corelist in 5.12.3:

% perl -Idist/Module-CoreList/lib -MModule::CoreList -E 'say $Module::CoreList::VERSION; say $Module::CoreList::version{5.012003}{Module::CoreList}'
2.43
2.38

This has been fixed later with
 http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/a0a0e5450c8a47684a1d0a4c7cb597974ad56ab1

It might make sense to cherry-pick the fix for the Debian package.
In any case, the Breaks: list should clearly have 2.43.
