package names with `.' cause problems in the Depends field
...uot;) || ($3 eq ">="))
				|| ($4 =~ /[^\d\.\-]/)))) {
		$any++;
		break;
	    }
	}
	if($any == 0) {
	    $log->result("OK")
	}
	else {
	    $log->error();
	    $log->print("Malformed Depends field.\n");
	    $log->print(wrap("", "", @msg_DESCRIPTION));
	    exit(1);
 	}
Alas, I am not Perl savvy enough to fully understand this. Simple testing shows
that the matching yields no matches ($1 is empty) for a name like "g.data". If
`.' is allowed in package names, then I suspect that this is a bug.
