Same issue exists with perl (and I have introduced it myself); hovewer,
it's different than the "apache{,1}" one (most important difference: it
doesn't really matter, whether perl-modules or perl-Time-HiRes will be
installed).

Yes, it creates problems -- arising from RPM's crappiness.   I don't see
a way for solving this issue without using a chainsaw.
