Bug#481961: libpod-simple-perl: perlpod and perlpodspec are also in the core

[Niko Tyni]

Package: libpod-simple-perl
Version: 3.05-2
Severity: normal

This package ships the perlpod and perlpodspec documents (in both pod
and troff formats), overriding the versions in the perl-doc package. I'm
not sure which (if either) is the canonical document, but the one in
the core has had a section on "=encoding" since 2003 (Perl change 21137)
while it's still not in the Pod-Simple one.

If we really need to ship this package, either renaming or removing the
conflicting documents seems to be in order, and I think it's clear that
perl-doc has a better claim to the names.

The conflict should be discussed with upstream; note that one of the
3.05 changelog entries suggests Debian-specific problems may be a
delicate issue.
