Hi, I have written a small utility for fetching variables from an INI-style configuration file, and ITP'd it at #502543 - confget. Actually, there already is a Debian package for it that I've been using at $REALJOB for a couple of weeks, but now that it seems to be mature enough to be shown to the world, I've got a dependency question :) After the build, confget may optionally run a test suite. This is done with Perl's prove(1) utility - t/*.t files, "1..8", "not ok 3" and such. Thus, prove(1) must be present at build time (I'm using debhelper 7 - it runs dh_auto_test automatically, since my Makefile has a test target, and I like that). Now, since confget already depends on debhelper which obviously pulls in most of Perl, may I just make use of that, or should I add an explicit build dependency on "perl | libtest-harness-perl", just in case the build mechanism changes at some point in the future?
