For the records, dictionaries-common depends on perl only because of
File::Temp. I am considering the possibility of making it depend only on
perl-base, which is required (and so no explicit perl dependency is needed).
As a matter of fact I have a branch in my personal git repo with this done,
but was not sure if this worths.
