I never said that it was not useful without libnet-dns-perl.
But you get most out of swaks possibility when it is installed; that's

As you are the maintainer, it's up to you! :)

As a final suggestion, you could always patch swaks to suggest Debian
packages names in the same messages that suggests the missing Perl
module.
