DOes that mean I should stop working on cpan-package? Also, I
think that not all the information can be supllied by upstream
authors unless dpkg support is a major effort by upstream authors. I
am talking about distribution (non-free, contrib, main); sections,
pre-depends vs depends vs recommends, and which packages have to have
a relationship with etc.
cpan-package relies on a human edited Control template.
