inconsistencies between Depends and Build-Depends



Hello Don,

The Build-Depends and Depends fields of libdebbug-perl are inconsistent.

This is a diff between the two:

--                 Build-Depends 
++ libdebbug-perl  Depends:

-graphviz
+ed
 imagemagick
 libcgi-simple-perl
-libconfig-simple-perl
 libfile-libmagic-perl
 libgravatar-url-perl
-libhttp-server-simple-perl
 libio-stringy-perl
-liblist-allutils-perl
+liblist-moreutils-perl
 libmail-message-perl
 libmail-rfc822-address-perl
 libmailtools-perl
 libmime-tools-perl
 libmldbm-perl
-libnet-server-perl
 libparams-validate-perl
 libsafe-hole-perl
 libsoap-lite-perl
-libtest-pod-perl
-libtest-www-mechanize-perl
-libtext-iconv-perl
+libtext-template-perl
 libtext-template-perl
 liburi-perl
-libuser-perl
 libwww-perl

I assume that some of the - are for packages only needed to run the tests.
However libtext-iconv-perl and liblist-allutils-perl are needed, and
liblist-moreutils-perl is spurious, and there is a duplicate libtext-template-perl

Probably we should add a substvar with all the libdebbug-perl perl dependencies and
use it for Build-Depends too.

Also the package is declaring
Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-perl
but this has no chance to pass in the current state of the package.

I will need to upload 2.6.2 to remove the test suite.

Cheers,

Imagine a large red swirl here.
