Re: using dh-make-perl with Module::Install (and getting dependencies)

I saw an interesting presentation on Web::Scraper at YAPC::EU in Vienna.
I wanted to package that module for debian so I can
use it. :)
When installing it with dh-make-perl I received the following error:
CPAN: File::Temp loaded ok (v0.18)
Found: Web-Scraper 0.13 (libweb-scraper-perl arch=all)
======================================================================
Could not find the dependencies for the requested module
[ snip ]
Please check if your module depends on Module::Install
for its build process - Automatically finding its
dependencies is unsupported, please specify them manually
using the 'depends' option.
======================================================================
How can we support finding dependencies if one is using Module::Install?
I am doing this manually.
Is this something that needs to be done or is there a reason why this is
not supported? What is a good way to find dependencies? Zamolxes noted
It's not supported because nobody had time or was not interested to do so.
that CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb can do this but I noted that the hook for
CPANPLUS is disabled in dh-make-perl - is there a reason for this?
Probably because CPANPLUS is not packaged in Debian.
