Hu? What do you find complicated? It's maybe a bit complicated by the
Python 2 vs. Python 3 thing, which you don't have in the Perl world.

I'm sorry, but if there is no reason to have a Perl module on the
target without the Perl interpreter, then the dependency on 'perl'
should be added automatically by the package infrastructure. Then you
simply adjust the scancpan script to *not* add 'perl' to the list of
dependencies for each Perl module, and that's it.

Can you work on that and respin your patch series accordingly?

Thanks!
