Ack, that sounds reasonable, and I hope to see a fix in apt-cacher as
well.

For the liburi-perl -> libregexp-ipv6-perl relationship, I currently
tend to change it from Depends to Recommends as that probably
describes the functionality better. Would this be a problem for
Ubuntu? In that case going back to Suggests should be fine as well.
