I have a bit of a surface loathing of metapackages.

Why is it that perl packages can't BuildRequire what they need?  Is there real 
good reason why a seemingly arbitrary rule like "don't BR 'core' perl 
packages" should continue to exist, especially now that there is no clear 
distinction of what is 'core' and what isn't?
