A friend of mine has confirmed that perl-Archive-Zip is only available
for the client, not for the server.

Since there is apparently no way for me (or for the perl-Archive-Zip)
maintainer to specify in which of these branches our packages should go,
I really do not know how to resolve these dependency problem.

So what to do ? BackupPC will probably not being pushed to stable since
there is a RHEL dependency issue, but everything seems to be OK under
CentOS... And as I'm not an RHEL customer, I see no way to know that a
such problem exists, no way to check it, no way to repair it...
