Those dependencies are correct; perl scripts require perl to run, and if 
you pretend to ignore the dependency, then we end up with complaints 
that the scripts won't run.  *That* would be a mistake.

Fair enough.  In that case, the correct solution is to create a separate 
openssl-perl package with those (like Fedora does), and leave those 
outside of Base.
