Bug#498459: libparams-check-perl: included with the Perl core

Package: libparams-check-perl
Version: 0.26-2
Severity: serious
Justification: unnecessary code duplication
Params::Check has been integrated into the Perl core as of 5.10.0,
and the separate libparams-check-perl package currently contains the
same version as perl-modules.
As perl-modules Provides:libparams-check-perl and there are no versioned
dependencies on it in the archive, there's no reason to ship a separate
libparams-check-perl package in lenny.
Given the slow pace of upstream development, I don't think there's a real
need for having this package at all anymore. Removing it from unstable
is probably the best option. I'll file a separate report about that if
nobody protests.
