<package>perl</package> or <package>perl-base</package> with
a minimum version of the <package>perl</package> package
- used to build the module, and must additionally depend on
- the expansion of
- <package>perlapi-$Config{debian_abi}</package> using
+ used to build the module. Additionally, all binary modules
+ (regardless of their installation directory) and any other modules
+ installed into <tt>$Config{vendorarch}</tt> must depend on the
+ expansion of <package>perlapi-$Config{debian_abi}</package> using
the <tt>Config</tt> module. If <tt>$Config{debian_abi}</tt>
is empty or not set, <tt>$Config{version}</tt> must be used.
