Severity: normal
Hi,
I propose that the perl policy includes at least a chapter or
section titled dh-make-perl so that the existence of this tool is
obvious just by reading the table of content.
I spent some amount of time fighting to build a Debian perl
package before someone told me that dh-make-perl existed. The good
thing is that I learnt a lot. From a simple efficiency point of view
what I did was somewhat sub-optimal :-)
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
There is no need to mandate helper packages in policy. There
ought to be HOWTO's and documentation of helper packages which, in
addition to developers reference, should suffice.
