I agree. In fact the development version of dh-make-perl (in SVN) doesn't suffer from this problem. A nice side effect of refactoring description handling :) However, I'd like to know what do you think is the best course of action when no long description (or an empty one) is found. The current SVN code would leave the package with no long description at all: -------------- ... Description: something -----[EOF]---- For some reason, when adding this situation in the test suite, I made it to expect the following: -------------- ... Description: something (no description was found) . This description was automagically extracted from the module by dh-make-perl. -----[EOF]---- Both would trigger a lintian complaint (serious and normal, respectively). Which one would you prefer? Thank you for your input.
