Bug#897026: debhelper: Debian::Debhelper::Buildsystem should not require debian/control
Package: debhelper
Severity: normal
Hi,
the package dh-r contains a script dh-make-R which creates a debian/
dir. This script calls an R module which contains:
use base 'Debian::Debhelper::Buildsystem';
Since debhelper 11.2 I get:
$ dh-make-R
dh-make-R: "debian/control" not found. Are you sure you are in the correct directory?
Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem.pm line 14.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem.pm line 14.

I went versions from snapshot.d.o down to 11.1.6 which works nicely and
does not show this error. Could you please revert the change from
debhelper 11.1.6 to 11.2 which makes the existence of debian/control
required?
Thanks a lot for maintaining debhelper
Andreas.
