Thanks for your work on this package!
Some remarks:
- d/changelog:
+ "Peter Eisentraut <petere@debian.org> moved to Uploaders." should
be removed, as you have later correctly removed them from
Uploaders.
+ Maybe document some more of your changes (e.g. the conversion of
d/copyright is missing).
- d/copyright:
+ including old copyright holders for debian/* might be nice,
cf. `dh-make-perl refresh --only copyright'
+ you used "Artistic or GPL-1+" for debian/*, which is of course
fine; in general we use the superset of upstream license and perl
license, aka "GPL-3+ or Artistic or GPL-1+"
- d/control:
+ "perl (>= 5.8.0-7)" -> the version can be dropped, as even oldoldstable
has 5.20; cf. `cme fix dpkg-control'
+ this also removes the version from "dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1~)", and
an unversioned dpkg-dev can be dropped completely
- debian/.gbp.conf
does this work? gbp.conf(5) mentions debian/gbp.conf.
- lintian overrides: they make me curious, especially because they
don't have a comment, explaining what they do :)
Let's see:
I: libintl-xs-perl: unused-override unusual-interpreter
So this one can be removed
O: libintl-perl: unusual-interpreter usr/share/perl5/Locale/Messages.pm #!/bin/false
Hm, ok weird but well …
- debian/rules:
+ PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 can be removed (I believe it's set by the
debhelper perl makemaker buildsystem)
+ The old d/rules had some none-default commands which are missing
now. Let's see what they do …
Test 1: building twice in a row. This fails with
dpkg-source: info: local changes detected, the modified files are:
libintl-perl-1.26/ReleaseNotes
libintl-perl-1.26/config.log
So these two files should be put into debian/clean
Then we had "dh_install -i --exclude=xs", which surprised me but
explains the lintian warning
W: libintl-perl source: binaries-have-file-conflict libintl-perl libintl-xs-perl usr/share/man/man3/Locale::gettext_xs.3pm.gz
i.e. this file is in both packages which is prevented by the
--exclude. - Hm, how is this written nowadays?
The following seems to work:
override_dh_install:
dh_install -a
dh_install -i --exclude=xs
- autopkgtests fail or are skipped … We need
+ debian/tests/pkg-perl/smoke-files with test.pl and tests/
and then it still fails *sigh*
cannot open './xs_disabled': No such file or directory at ./test.pl line 59.
So we need a smoke-setup as well … and here we go.
+ debian/tests/pkg-perl/use-name with the name of one perl module,
maybe Locale::Recode
+ I've committed and pushed the autopkgtests changes as I already
have them here :)

Thanks.

This (-2.2) is not correct. -X.Y are for non-maintainer uploads by
convention (as the -2.1 from Holger) but since we are doing a regular
maintainer upload now, -3 is the next "regular" debian revision.
See also lintian's
W: libintl-perl source: maintainer-upload-has-incorrect-version-number 1.26-2.2
> Not sure if this may be a bug with the takeover script.
Well, what dpt-takeover did was
+libintl-perl (1.26-2.1ubuntu1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
which points to a different enironment :)
(In general, dpt-takeover just calls `dch' which picks the next
version.)

Let's see what else we have besides the messages already discussed:
W: libintl-perl: national-encoding usr/share/doc/libintl-perl/examples/simplecal/po/ar.po
Well, yes. Might warrant an override.
I: libintl-perl source: duplicate-short-description libintl-perl libintl-xs-perl
Hm, yes, the short description is identical. If there is some space
in <80 characters, libintl-xs-perl could add something about XS
there.
If not, no big deal.
I: libintl-perl: example-wrong-path-for-interpreter usr/share/doc/libintl-perl/examples/simplecal/Makefile.PL (#!/usr/local/bin/perl != /usr/bin/perl)
I: libintl-perl: example-wrong-path-for-interpreter usr/share/doc/libintl-perl/examples/simplecal/bin/simplecal.pl (#!/usr/local/bin/perl != /usr/bin/
P: libintl-perl: example-unusual-interpreter usr/share/doc/libintl-perl/examples/simplecal/lib/SimpleCal.pm #!/bin/false
I think these should be fixed (at least the first two).
https://perl-team.pages.debian.net/debhelper.html has some recipes,
cf. the "Note on paths" and "Fixing Interpreter Shebang Lines"
sections
I: libintl-perl source: patch-not-forwarded-upstream debian/patches/dot-inc.patch
Might be worth taking a look at (if it's already fixed upstream or
needs forwarding etc.)
Ok, I think that's all for now :)
Cheers,
gregor
