Package: dh-make-perl
Version: 0.49
Severity: normal
In the default debhelper 7 mode the --notest option still runs "make
test". Eg.
dh-make-perl --notest --requiredeps --build POE-Loop-Glib-0.037
gives
...
dh_auto_test
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/gg/perl/poe/POE-Loop-Glib-0.037'
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"
"test_harness(0, 'inc', 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
FAILED--no tests were run for some reason.

Cannot create deb package
where I hoped it would not run dh_auto_test, or would defang it, or
whatever.
(This particular POE-Loop-Glib has some either undeclared dependency or
not quite working adaption to the presence/absense of POE::Test::Loops.
Any problem there is a matter for it of course, I only wanted to ignore
its tests for the moment.)
If "--dh 6" mode is forced then --notest still works.
If dh7 has a standard way not to run tests too then that could helpfully
be cross referenced in the dh-make-perl docs under --notest (in addition
to that option doing what it says). All I saw was the dh_auto_test man
page saying that if it doesn't work then don't use it!
