Yes, I think this should be done.  We have the same problem with some
Python packages.

Ideally, we would find a way to do without propagation as it has some
ugly effects, but I=E2=80=99m not sure if this is possible in Perl.  Ther=
e were
some discussions about fixing this is Python (see the mailing list
archives) but I must admit to being not knowledgeable enough about
Python to confidently propose a patch.
