I would prefer that dh-make-perl uses apt-file, or another specialized tool for the job (apt-xapian?). If you want apt-file to work with your local repositories, make them contain Contents files. For example reprepro(1) has Contents configuration option for this purpose. I am tagging this wontfix for now. If other pkg-perl members disagree, please override :) -- dam JabberID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
