As of 5.17.11, the full list seems to be

Archive-Extract
B-Lint
CPANPLUS-Dist-Build
CPANPLUS
File-CheckTree
Log-Message-Simple
Log-Message
Module-Pluggable
Object-Accessor
Pod-LaTeX
Term-UI
Text-Soundex

We probably need to package all of these separately. If jessie is going
to release with Perl 5.18, adding them as recommendations to the perl
package should be enough. If we release with something later we probably
need real dependencies for one release cycle.
