There is no practical difference in packaging between your 1.21-2.i686 
and 1.22.2-1.x86_64; they both include basically the same scripts, and 
therefore *both* should rightly depend on perl.  Probably the best 
solution to avoiding the perl dep in Base is to split up groff as on 
Fedora, where 13 perl scripts plus their manpages and data are in a 
separate groff-perl package.
