The perl package provides the same package via a Provides entry: libextutils-parsexs-perl (= 3.390000). This is newer than the version in the separate package (against which this bug is filed) so this package will never be selected for installation. This could change if a newer version is uploaded, but until then, the separate package should not be released. Dominic.
