Yes, it is :) I can reproduce this; the problem is in Renaming.pm: #v+ =head1 DESCRIPTION =head2 Overview #v- i.e. an empty DESCRIPTION (or a "blank line description"). If I change thhis section to #v+ =head1 DESCRIPTION Allow Renaming of symbols on Import =head2 Overview #v- dh-make-perl creates a description like: #v+ Description: Allow renaming of symbols on import Allow Renaming of symbols on Import . This description was automagically extracted from the module by dh-make-perl. #v- and I suppose the build would succeed afterwards. Conclusions: * --build (i.e. not looking at the generated debian/* files before building) is not really a good idea :) * dh-make-perl should handle this case a bit more gracefully (by not inserting blank lines in debian/control's Description).
