Added to git master (and also for python and ruby). I allowed a 
dependency on another package with matched variant as an alternative to 
a dependency on the language itself. That is, 
bar-pm5124:Depends:foo-pm5124 is sufficient as it inherits an indirect 
dep on perl5124-core via foo-pm5124 (which either has an explicit 
Depends:perl5124-core or else recurses down to other *-pm5124). 

It uncovered a handful of cases in 10.7/finkinfo, all fixed now. Please 
let me know if your build/run testing finds any others (== this new 
test is leaky) or other problems with it.
