The latest dpkg upload (1.18.17) changed the dependency of libdpkg-perl
to perl:any as well, and now "debootstrap --variant=buildd" fails
because it no longer downloads perl.
This means that sbuild-createchroot and "pbuilder create" will also fail
to create sid chroots, since they run "debootstrap --variant=buildd".
