It the dep on Perl still only for the two interactive (!) scripts in
the lm_sensors package?
[...]
The other script may be essential, because without running it, you
likely don't have any working config file to begin with. It tries to
detect h/w but still isn't automatic. There's still a big fat warning
about running it with --auto option.
This also means it's not necessary after initial configuration and
could be uninstalled. Looks like a candidate for non-mandatory
subpackage to me.
