This circular dependency exists since May 2011, i.e. since liblwp-protocol-https-perl was split off from libwww-perl. I don't remember any problems in the last 9 years, and I fail to immediately see which problems this could cause. Please note that there is no circular _build_ dependency (and even if there were, all pure test dependencies are annotated with <!nocheck> in both packages).
