Please also care about maintainer scripts (postinst, etc.). I'd at
least check the following files:
* debian/rules
* debian/{post,pre}{inst,rm}

Hi Dominic,
One thing to be careful with here is that /usr/bin/prename is currently
part of the Build-Essential set (dpkg-dev depends on perl). This means that
there are a lot of packages with debian/rules that contain lines like:
prename 's/\.py//' $(CURDIR)/debian/…/usr/bin/*

Hi,
I regularly use rename(1) and miss it on non-Debian systems. The fact perl
provides it currently doesn't matter to me (or I'd argue any end user)

To me, a dependency seems cleaner. Plus, it's easier to get rid of if need

Hi all,
the rename(1) which ships with perl is located in
debian/rename
in the source package and stuck at a version from 1998:
# $RCSfile: rename,v $$Revision: 1.5 $$Date: 1998/12/18 16:16:31 $
CPAN[1] carries a version 1.8 from 2010, but
27 matches
