[Bug 862129] Re: samba postrm depends on packages not guaranteed to be configured

[Colin Watson]

I've suggested a patch to update-inetd to make it tolerate perl-base
/perl-modules desync, and an added Breaks in perl-base to match this;
see the linked Debian bug reports.  I think that if we did this we could
avoid needing to change update-manager, since apt would install the
improved update-inetd first (even just unpacking it would be enough).
We could SRU update-inetd and perl for this.

Steve, Michael, do you agree with this assessment?
