Yeah, that's all "intended". The perl bindings have always been absent
of the modulesets so far because we had (and still have) no way of
knowing the exact version that should be released as part of the
release -- and not having the perl bindings in the modulesets is no real
issue.

The stuff that is in versions is intended as a best effort, but is
always wrong (it just gets versions from CPAN, which is not good enough)
and should be updated based on what's in Torsten's directory.
