Dependency problem found.

but libfile-spec-perl is also provided by perl, and in most if not
all cases here, the Dependency is unversioned, so the virtual
libfile-spec-perl should satisfy the requirement.

(In the absence of this bug being fixed, what is the correct approach
when all reverse-deps found are in fact satisfied by a virtual
package?)

Thanks,
Dominic.

I've been advised that the check is only advisory so and once reviewed,
the erroneous output can be ignored. I've updated
<https://wiki.debian.org/ftpmaster_Removals> accordingly.
