Even if only looking at perl packages installed on my own machine, this problem is not unique to debhelper - any package that has a Debian:: perl module is likely to have exactly the same "problem"/feature. $ ls /usr/share/perl5/Debian AdduserCommon.pm Debhelper Dependency.pm DpkgCross.pm AptContents.pm Defoma DictionariesCommon.pm Dwww DebConf Dependencies.pm DocBase Packages > If I'm correct, OS X may work in case insensitive mode too.
