In general, yes. But OTOH it seems a bit useless if dh-make-perl writes an extra file that only does what dpkg-source doesn anyway by default (if both changes go in). > Applying the defaults to all packages is another mater, but I guess > it's not that much difficult either. Yup, `packagecheck' comes to my mind :) But I've waited for the same reason so far. > IOW, I say promote the preference as a policy and modify the tools > now. Later adaptation is always an option. Later adaption might in this case mean removing the files, which just adds another task ... OTOH we can also say "hey we want thisso strongly that we express this by writing out the options even if they are the default"; so I wouldn't oppose adding this change but my preference is to wait a bit longer.
