Reviving this old bug report. AAMOF I have updated the embedded Perl
code in dh-make-elpa a few times regarding repository detection, field
handling on d/control (e.g. Standard-Versions, Rules-Requires-Root,
etc.), etc. I wonder whether there were more work done in this
direction and whether there are still interest to make this happen.
