Package: perl
Version: 5.001-3

On my initial install perl said it could not make the headers, I can
make a guess that this was because it does not depend on source, and
therefore dpkg would not run source's postinst (to make the
/usr/include/xxx) links before running perl's postinst.  Perhaps perl
should require "includes | source" or perhaps there should be a
seperate perl-headers package that just installs and runs the script?
