I think this is normal.  perl5 depends on perl5.12.  The idea is that
you just install perl5 and then the "proper" minor version of perl
gets installed as a dependency.  Often you don't need to have both the
metapackage (perl5) and the "real" package installed, but perhaps in
this case it is set up differently.
