Comment(by vinc17@…):

 Replying to [comment:13 jmr@…]:
 > Declaring a dependency in p5-xml-libxslt would be redundant because perl
 depends on gdbm as shown above.

 I disagree, because unlike most Perl modules, p5-xml-libxslt has a direct
 reference to libgdbm. If it doesn't have a dependency on gdbm, then it
 will not get the necessary revbump when needed (unless the gdbm maintainer
 remembers to revbump p5-xml-libxslt even though it doesn't have a
 dependency on gdbm).
