Well, packages with Module::Build::Tiny would just explode instead of build without the fix in debhelper 9.20140227. Currently this is no issue as long as a debhelper version >= stable is used but until a few weeks ago the then stable version was not enough and the check helpful. - Since this still affects potential backports to oldstable I would personally keep it. > > Check: usr-lib-perl5 > > Tag: usr-lib-perl5-mentioned > Ok.
