    debian: Revert the perl to perl:any dependency change in libdpkg-perl
    
    Even though this was a correct change, it currently breaks debootstrap in
    stable (jessie), testing (stretch) and unstable, which does not support
    arch-qualified dependencies.
    
    We'll have to live with the Multi-Arch hinter being unhappy for now.
