Package: libemail-send-perl
Version: 2.192-3

In Lenny libemail-send-perl and libemail-send-io-perl have circular build 
dependencies that prevent a build of these packages from scratch.

$ grep "Build-Depends-Indep:" libemail-send-perl_2.192-3.dsc
Build-Depends-Indep: perl (>= 5.8.0-7), ......., libemail-send-io-perl
$ grep "Build-Depends-Indep:" libemail-send-io-perl_2.200-1.dsc
Build-Depends-Indep: perl (>= 5.8.8-9), libemail-send-perl, .......
$

The problem appears when none of the packages are available (for 
example you are starting a new Debian derivative or somesuch).

What I'd suggest is dropping the appropriate B-D-I entry, build both, 
make them available in the "from scratch" environment, then put the 
B-D-I entry back and rebuild. You should be able to do this as 
I suspect one of the B-D-I entries is used only for tests (which are 
skipped if the module is not available).

Requires work, but since we don't actualy care about being able to 
rebuild the archive from scratch, this is your only option.

I am closing the bug report.
