*sigh* I've never understood why Joey changed the name. "mr" was
perfect. "myrepos" sounds as horrible as "myspace". O.o

But anyway: Feel free to do so.

JFTR: pkg-perl-tools has that dependency since its very first upload,
i.e. since version 0.1.

And mr is even only the second alternative, not the first one. And
that alternative dependency is only a Recommends and does not hurt at
all.

In contrary -- it eases backports. (Which is also the primary reason
why I put it in there although the renaming already happened when the
first pkg-perl-tools package was uploaded.)

So I don't see any real issue. If you insist, we can talk about this
again when Wheezy is EoL. But I'd prefer to just close this bug report
without any further action.
