Well, this was explained in the review ticket:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=167376
"This package is a bit odd. To avoid circular dependencies, I've
bundled DateTime, DateTime::Locale, and DateTime::TimeZone."
I'm not sure of the best way to avoid those circular dependencies, but
surely bundling a few closely related and very small modules is low on
the hierarchy of packaging sins.
PD> I suggest that you open a bug against perl-DateTime.
Not sure what good it would do, given the above.
