apparmor-utils dependency on librpc-xml-perl is inconvenient

Binary package hint: apparmor

apparmor-utils (2.5.1~pre1393-0ubuntu5) depends on librpc-xml-perl, since utils/Repository.pm unconditionally calls 'use RPC::XML;' etc. This is a library with many large dependencies, including libwww-perl, and apparmor-utils is in the standard seed, which is installed on every Ubuntu system other than those installed using a bare debootstrap. I'd like to make this less of an imposition on the standard system somehow. Reading through the code, as far as I can see, RPC::XML is only used for online profile repository operations, which it seems to me (although I am far from an expert on this) might be a relatively uncommon operation.

Perl supports loading modules dynamically in function scope, using patterns such as 'require RPC::XML; RPC::XML->import;'. Would it be possible to load RPC::XML and friends only when they're directly needed, and drop librpc-xml-perl to a Suggests? You could even do something like this to make it obvious what people need to do:

  eval {
    require RPC::XML;
    RPC::XML->import;
    require RPC::XML::Client;
    RPC::XML::Client->import;
  };
  if ($@) {
    die "RPC::XML module not available; try 'apt-get install librpc-xml-perl' as root.\n";
  }
