(For the bug record).
Niels removed this from debhelper compat 11:
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debhelper/debhelper.git/tree/debhelper.pod#n683
but I don't this changes my plan above to push on this after the
perl 5.26 transition is underway. It means that module maintainers
can move to debhelper 11 as a way to verify whether their packages
need properly fixing.
Thanks Niels!
Dominic.
