Package: libtext-iconv-perl
Version: 1.7-4
Severity: normal

This is a dependency of debconf-i18n, so its new dependency on perl,
rather than perl-base, bloats the base system with perl.

I don't know why that change was made; there is no indication in the
changelog. It should be un-made; if something from perl is actually
needed, it should be put into perl-base.
