--- Begin Message ---Package: dh-make-perl Version: 0.34 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch $ dh-make-perl --cpan Acme::Drunk prepares for me a changelog entry beginning with: libacme-drunk-perl (0.03-1) unstable; urgency=low which is technically okay but lets users easily shoot themselves in the foot when combining --cpan with --build or --install for spontaneously building local packages: If a properly packaged libacme-drunk-perl 0.03-1 makes its way into the Debian distribution, it will not be installed over that locally-geneerated package. This may lead to confusion due to unreproducable bugs if the official packages differs substantially from the local one-shot package that may have been forgotten about. I know that the manpage comes with a warning: Using this program is no excuse for not reading the debian developer documentation, including the Debian policy, the perl policy, the packaging manual and so on. ... but many users don't. And many users won't actually look at manpages when they have been given the simple "recipe" by someone such as "You'd like to install Acme::Drunk? Just do dh-make-perl --install --build Acme::Drunk and install the resulting .deb." which certainly gets the job done, but not without the undesirable side-effects mentioned above. I propose to add something like -0local1 instead of -1 as the default Debian revision (which of course can still be overridden using the --version parameter). Using "experimental" as the default distribution might be an additional sensible measure.
