Bug#421549: build-depends-without-arch-dep: support libmodule-build-perl use in clean target
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.30
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
When testing a perl package built using Module::Build, lintian says:
I: liburi-template-perl source: build-depends-without-arch-dep libmodule-build-perl
because it doesn't know libmodule-build-perl is needed in the clean target.
The attached patch adds a regexp to @global_clean_depends to support this.
I just hope no other build system uses "Build.PL" anywhere.
For a package using Module::Build, see
http://nessie.mcc.ac.uk/~ianb/debian/liburi-template-perl_0.06-1.dsc
which was generated with dh-make-perl.
Ian.
