Subject: dpkg-dev: dpkg-dev should depend on perl and should be moved to section devel
Date: Mon, 4 May 1998 22:04:39 -0700
Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.4.0.22

Some parts of dpkg-dev need parts of perl (notably POSIX.pm) that are not contained in perl-base,
therefore it should depend on perl.

Also, IMHO, dpkg-dev belongs in 'devel' rather than 'utils'.
