Hi, I want to propose the following two changes in the perl-related debhelper support. I am also willing to write the patches, but before I try that, I want to discuss this a bit, as it would affect all of the group's packages. * export AUTOMATED_TESTING=1 when invoking the test system This would follow the recommendations of the Lancaster consensus and should generally help upstream help us. * run tests in verbose mode this would help in situations where a sub-test hangs, and the buildd kills it. Knowing after which sub-test the hang happens is useful debugging clue. Also, having the diagnostic messages that are shown only in verbose mode can be useful. This has the drawback of enlarging the build log, but I don't think this is a serious concern. That's it. If you see flaws in this, please tell me before I dive into patching.
