Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.8.4.0
Severity: minor
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/perl-policy/ch-perl.html
says in section 2.2 (Base Package):
As Perl is currently used by such things as update-alternatives and
some package maintainer scripts, it must be priority required and
marked as essential.
If I am reading the section correctly, the "it" in "it must be" refers
to perl-base, not Perl as a language. If I am correct, I think it would
be clearer to replace "it" with "perl-base".
