And in this case, versionned deps are required for the perl XS modules.
This is usually enforced by find-requires which adds
perlapi-<perl_version> requires. But drakxtools modules are not
installed in a standard path, and thus not found by find-requires.
(please also see replies in the bug report)
I've uploaded a fixed drakxtools.
Thanks Dan for the report
