Bug#903281: dh-make-elpa: want refresh subcommand



Package: dh-make-elpa
Version: 0.13
Severity: wishlist

Emacsen team members spend far too much time doing the same updates to
multiple packages.  dh-make-elpa should have a 'refresh' subcommand (to
follow dh-make-perl) which does it for us.

I have not looked at how dh-make-perl handles this, but I suspect that
elpa packages are less uniform than perl libraries.  Thus, I'd suggest
that this command just have a list of common updates that it would apply
conservatively.

For example, if a package has an "Enhances: emacs24", it would change it
to "Enhances: emacs25".  And it can update the Vcs fields if
--pkg-emacsen was passed.

It shouldn't bump standards-version because there are too many non-elpa
things about a package that might need to be updated.

I'm not sure about debhelper compat level.
