I've been postponing dealing with this bug, hoping that someone in the
Debian Perl Group would spontaneously provide a better interface for this
than the current one. The perl-dbdabi-* virtual package seems sensible
enough, but I'm not happy about including external makefiles in my
debian/rules. Could you please provide a dh_* command for this that adds
the value to the existing ${misc:Depends} variable?
Also, why does libdbd-sybase-perl need to depend on *both* libdbi-perl *an*
perl-dbdabi-*, given that the latter is provided by the former? Depending
on libdbi-perl looks quite redundant to me.
Thanks,
