Package: dh-make-perl Version: 0.76-1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
when creating a new package with dh-make-perl, it checks at least if such a package already exists in the archive (via apt-file's database) and on the local system. However it doesn't check git.debian.org:/git/pkg-perl/attic/ (e.g. via http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/) for previous packaging of possibly removed and to be re-added packages. Additionally there was recently the suggestion[1] to also create git.debian.org:/git/pkg-perl/prospective/ (or similar) for already started but not actively maintained packaging, so that people can continue already done work instead of starting packaging from scratch.
