One might wonder why publican calls perldoc instead of just running "man publican". Adding perl-doc as dependency seems like overkill given that publican --man is not really a critical feature. I might add it to Suggests but then it makes no difference as far as APT is concerned. BTW, both Debian and Ubuntu have bugtrackers for the packaging problems. Please use those for such problems.
