That depends on whether we want to move to a different system. I think depending on the correct version of the Perl module is a good thing, so it depends on whether we want fink-virtual-pkgs to set the correct version number for Perl modules (for example, by loading it then checking $VERSION). If we intend to write such a patch, this warning might be a good reminder to do this at a certain point. Otherwise the warning is just silly and annoying, and trains people to ignore warnings in dpkg... Sjors
