This doesn't occur anymore with doc-base >= 0.10.0, which switched from
MLDB to YAML according to the changelog.

However, I think there has to be a mechanism ensuring that partial
upgrades from squeeze aren't affected. I think that needs to go in
perl-base, which should declare a Breaks: doc-base (<< 0.10.0).

We're tracking this as http://bugs.debian.org/633076 and it will probably
go into the next perl upload.
