that they don't need to
use this module? It seems silly to create a module just to make sure
that a dependency is installed. That's for the Perl module building
system or dpkg to ensure.
If we had a separate Perl module to ensure every dependency that a Perl
module might need, we'
think that you need to mention that it is free software. If it
is in main or contrib, that can be safely assumed.

Again, you don't need to depend on gcc. Your package will probably have
a dependency on libgomp1, but that will be automatically added if
required.

reasonable to ask what the features are for one that will be added to

on occasion that a packager may decide that there is a better tool for

it's probably better to use a term that includes both, since as it reads

It's hard to access the manpage on the only system on which systemd is

Fixing this might be a useful way around the problem. I'd code up a

Yeah, that's my experience, too. glibc is not alignment check-safe on
i386 and amd64. If you turn it on in an LD_PRELOAD using _init, it
segfaults before main.
