I have used the generic perl_base as perl5_030 is a virtual package perl_base 
provides using that new keyword, although both names seem to be in 
/etc/setup/installed.db.
What are the best approaches for non-perl and perl packages?
I could see perhaps the generic is better for non-perl packages, and the 
specific for perl packages?
