Severity: normal

Math::BigInt: couldn't load specified math lib(s), fallback to 
Math::BigInt::FastCalc at /usr/share/perl5/Crypt/DH.pm line 6

This is printed anytime something uses Crypt::DH. Problem is that it tells
Math::BigInt to use GMP, for speed. But, no dependency causes
libmath-bigint-gmp-perl to be installed when libcrypt-dh-perl is installed.

Possible solutions:

1. Add a dependency or recommends on libmath-bigint-gmp-perl
2. Change the code to run use Math::BigInt try => "GMP,Pari"
   Use of try will supress the warning.

#2 seems like the better option, unless the extra speed is really needed.
#2+recommends might be a good compromise.
