I see. I generated the bug report after I installed the package manually
and that's why it was listed as dependency. If I uninstall
liblocale-codes-perl, the list of dependencies would look differently:
Versions of packages auto-multiple-choice-common depends on:
ii ghostscript 9.50~dfsg-5
ii imagemagick 8:6.9.10.23+dfsg-2.1+b2
ii imagemagick-6.q16 [imagemagick] 8:6.9.10.23+dfsg-2.1+b2
ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.67-1
ii libclone-perl 0.43-2
ii libdbd-sqlite3-perl 1.64-1+b1
ii libdbi-perl 1.642-1+b2
ii libfile-mimeinfo-perl 0.29-1
ii libglib-object-introspection-perl 0.048-1
ii libgraphics-magick-perl 1.4+really1.3.34+hg16181-1

ii unzip 6.0-25
It can bee seen that liblocale-codes-perl is provided by
perl-modules-5.22. That's because perl-modules-5.22 has the following
dependencies:
Replaces: liblocale-codes-perl (<< 3.34)
Provides: liblocale-codes-perl
Breaks: liblocale-codes-perl (<< 3.34)
perl-modules-5.22 is a left-over package from older distributions (in
Aptitude marked as "Obsolete"). If I uninstall it, liblocale-codes-perl
is automatically installed and AMC works fine. So maybe, AMC should
depend on liblocale-codes-perl (>= 3.34).
Alternatively, conflicting with perl-modules-5.22 would also help, but
this might force users to uninstall all (obsolete) packages depending on
it, which is not good. So I guess the versioned dependency on
liblocale-codes-perl is a better solution.
