This will work well for perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib - 2.033 in perl, 2.037 in separated package, but we will have borken debuginfo. b/ remove dual life modules, which are outside of perl -> will solve problem of broken debuginfo https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694704 Removal doesn't work for perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib, but it might work for other packages. Core modules are now updated more often, so we might not need dual life process. Opinions?
