I haven't seen any discussion on this, but I do wonder why does util-linux bring in a dependancy on Perl?

I've so far avoided installing Perl and don't feel like installing it now either. And it seems that Perl in turns brings in a dependancy on both libdb4.2 *and* libdb4.3 - this doesn't like right to me either; certainly doesn't make me happier... Any good reason for these dependancies? Any (reasonable) way to get rid of these dependancies?
uncheck perl and click (paraphrased:) "yes I know I'm breaking dependencies but I really know what I'm doing" in setup.exe?
You'd have to do that every time you update util-linux -- but that'll be rare I think.
