Hi! While working on Perl updates in Ubuntu, I ran head-long into Debian bug 479762. Thanks to the h2ph patch, things are much improved. However, I wanted to also include a test to avoid this kind of regression from happening in the future. What do you think of the follow patch to debian/rules to validate the produced .ph files? Thanks, -Kees -- Kees Cook @debian.org
