I am stupid. I was just missing the perl-5.6 package. Of course there
were packages missing, as I hadn't them installed. Ok, I don't
understand why perl-base-5.6 doesn't need perl-5.6, but I think that's
just because I am stupid, as I said. I will think about that tomorrow,
when I have hopefully found my brain ;-)

But the postinst still uses update-alternatives, it just doesn't seem to
work. Hmm. Ok, it's not a problem. It does work now and the possibility
to switch perls did help with one problem. At least I know what I
changed and so it shouldn't pose a problem, especiall since I am now on
5.6 as was intended.

As I answered myself, braindamage on my side, I forgot to install all
parts of perl 5.6 ;-(

Did it ever happen that sarcasm hit you over the head and you didn't
notice? ;-)
