While this is generally true, I don't see the concrete problems in
this case.

Current state (squeeze):
libwww-perl: 5.836-1
liblwp-protocol-https-perl: n/a

Upgrade to wheezy:
libwww-perl 5.836-1 -> 6.x, which pulls in
liblwp-protocol-https-perl, which needs libwww-perl >= 6.02 (and
Breaks/Replaces older versions of libwww-perl), which is upgraded
anyway.

(Please also note that these are both arch:all packages.)

Cheers,
gregor
