[oe] Why does samba think it (R)DEPENDS on perl?

When building the current version of samba, it builds perl and drags it
into the image through an RDEPENDS.
I've been researching this for a while, but failed to figure out what
causes this runtime relation. Is there a way to find out where this is
being "detected"?
The workaround I implemented is simply adding this line to the samba
recipe, which at least gets rid of the overhead in the image:
RDEPENDS_${PN}_remove = "perl"
(Samba 4 is bloated enough by itself, it doesn't need other packages to
inflate its runtime even more)
