I agree, but I ran out of time messing with it. It looks like the
RDEPENDS are not set for perl modules, so you need to list them all.
There is one perl script in the lxc utilities that imports one perl
module. This module imports another, rinse lather repeat. I gave up and
sucked in the whole mess so I could get work done.

I'll gladly make a note this is not optimal in the commit message. I
doubt lsc will become super popular on embedded systems, and when it
does we can clean up the perl modules.

Not yet. Still trying to get my head around the whole concept. One step
at a time.
