I was creating a package which depended on Modern::Perl
(libperl5i-perl). dh-make-perl didn't find a bunch of dependencies
packaged, including Modern::Perl in libmodern-perl.
The "didn't run apt-file after libmodern-perl became available" theory
is totally plausible. I haven't worked much on the box in question in a
while.
