I see no reason to move the usrmerge dependencies to perl-base: usrmerge is supposed to be installed, run and then removed again. If something is moved to perl-base then it will use space on every Debian system. usrmerge being installed DOES NOT mean that the system has been converted to merged-/usr, so there is no reason at all to keep it around after it has been used.
