Package: libdpkg-perl
Version: 1.18.24
Severity: normal
/usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3/Git.pm regularly calls out to git using
"system('git',...." yet libdpkg-perl does not Require or even Recommend that
Git is installed.
This makes using dpkg-source with the 3.0 (git) format fail, for example in a
automatically build chroot created to build a source package in this format, as
git is missing to extract the package.
It can be worked around by explcitly installing git in the build chroot.
I'd guess the that libdpkg-perl should either Require or Recommend that git is
installed.
