Sounds good, but it won't install. Seems that debhelper has to be
upgraded as well and 'that' seems to require the perl upgrade.
Depbelper fails with
DH_VERSION=10 perl -MTest::Harness -e 'runtests grep { ! /CVS/ }
@ARGV' t/*
t/dh_lin............Can't locate Test.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.004 /usr/lib/perl5

Test returned status 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)

make: *** [test] Error 2
