I think you meant p5-base. Debian does something like that too (perl is an almost-empty package that depends on perl-base and perl-modules). But I don't think a rename would be necessary. perl5.8 should just depend on p5-math-bigint, if I understand correctly. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent@vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
