I think Russ means they are not part of perl-base package, but provided by perl/perl-modules in Debian. So packages using them have to depend on the full perl package instead of the minimal perl-base package. However this could be fixed by moving the additional modules to perl-base (increasing its size slightly) or changing the implementation to not use them.
