Re: [Pkg-emacsen-addons] Enquiry about libdpkg-perl alternatives

[Sean Whitton <spwhitton@spwhitton.name>]

Dear Guillem,

dh-make-elpa imports a lot of subroutines directly from dh-make-perl.
So it uses libdebian-source-perl because that's the representation used
in dh-make-perl.

dh-elpa uses libdebian-source-perl simply because when I added the
functionality that requires it, I'd just written dh-make-elpa, and it
didn't occur me to look for the functionality in libdpkg-perl.

dh-elpa uses libdebian-source-perl only to see whether the Build-Depends
field contains a certain binary package.

HTH!
