Here's a short status update: Running tests in verbose mode is already requested by gregor in #714546. I plan for sending the additional patch about AUTOMATED_TESTING to that bug, retitling it as improvements to perl module package tests. I am currently rebuilding all the packages that have debhelper and perl in their Build-Depends or Build-Depends-Indep fields with a patched debhelper. That's around 3600 packages. The failing build logs then need to be checked if they have something to do with the changes. As a side effect of all this, there will be quite a few bug reports about FTBFS and a small framework for rebuilding huge lists of packages that may be useful during transitions or just for regular QA. Cheers, dam
