Cool thanks a lot. I will try to have a look as well, but if I'm
taking too long on it and you think its fine then go ahead.

I just want to aks one aspect: Is this actual worth into making it a
packaging change? The problem exists as well with previous versions.
Now assume, a version was uploaded, and the status of perl in unstable
is not a RC version. Later on a RC version get's uploaded to unstable,
but no new libmodule-corelist-perl is even available, due to not yet
released perl version. Then we have a broken libmodule-corelist-perl
nevertheless until the released perl version is going to enter
unstable.

Hope my reasoning makes sense and is correct,

Salvatore
