I'd suggest expanding that to check perl (and other language) module
provides as well.

For example, for a while MRTG included a private copy of the RRD perl
modules, and "mrtg" was shorter than "rrdtool-perl", so anything using
the RRD modules would auto-dep pull in MRTG (which didn't solve the
dep).
