Package: dh-make-perl Version: 0.89-1 Severity: normal I tried to use --depends to force package dependencies (download about 10kb),
wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/E/EW/EWILHELM/Math-Geometry-Planar-Offset-1.05.tar.gz tar xfz Math-Geometry-Planar-Offset-1.05.tar.gz dh-make-perl --no-network --vcs=none --depends perl --build Math-Geometry-Planar-Offset-1.05 but dh-make-perl did its dependencies guessing etc, resulting in libyaml-perl among the dependencies. I hoped only my manual --depends would be used. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages dh-make-perl depends on: ii debhelper 9.20160115 ii dpkg-dev 1.18.4 ii fakeroot 1.20.2-1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.29+b5 ii libarray-unique-perl 0.08-2 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libconfig-ini-perl 1:0.025-1 ii libcpan-meta-perl 2.150005-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.4 ii libemail-address-perl 1.908-1 ii libemail-date-format-perl 1.005-1 ii libfile-which-perl 1.19-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.413-1+b1 ii libmodule-depends-perl 0.16-2 ii libparse-debcontrol-perl 2.005-4 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-8 ii libsoftware-license-perl 0.103011-1 ii libtie-ixhash-perl 1.23-2 ii libwww-mechanize-perl 1.75-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.41-6+b1 ii libyaml-perl 1.15-1 ii make 4.1-5 ii perl 5.22.1-5 ii perl-modules-5.22 [libcpan-meta-perl] 5.22.1-5 Versions of packages dh-make-perl recommends: ii apt-file 2.5.5 ii git 1:2.7.0-1 ii libdpkg-parse-perl 0.03-1 ii pristine-tar 1.33 dh-make-perl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
