I think it's the only way to retrieve version information. It's a long time
since I wrote my original patch for dh-make-perl, but I seem to remember
that DPKG::Parse was the only module that provided certain information I
needed (see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=774074).

I certainly tried to do it with other modules already packaged, but I
couldn't gain all the required information.

Regards,

Andy
