Gregor,

Thanks for your informed suggestions! I'll drop the apt-file
part.

I'd be interested in an example of getting package version
information.

What I tried is:

   use Debian::AptContents;
   my $c = Debian::AptContents->new({ homedir => '/tmp/dh-make-perl'});
   
   my $dep = $c->find_perl_module_package('Padre','123.0');
   
   print $dep->ver; # 123.0  (actual version is 0.76.ds1-1)

Best,

Joel
