lintian .packlist warning and debian/rules modification
I ran debuilder with lintian and received this output (amongst other messages) E: libhtml-treebuilder-xpath-perl: package-installs-packlist usr/lib/ perl5/auto/HTML/TreeBuilder/XPath/.packlist N: N: Packages built using the perl MakeMaker package will have a file named N: .packlist in them. Those files are useless, and (in some cases) have N: the additional problem of creating an architecture-specific directory N: name in an architecture-independent package. N: N: They can be suppressed by adding the following to debian/rules: N: N: find debian/tmp -type f -name .packlist | xargs rm -f N: N: -find debian/tmp/usr/lib/perl5 -type d -empty | xargs rmdir -p N: N: Or by telling MakeMaker to use vendor install dirs; consult a recent N: version of perl policy. Perl 5.6.0-12 or higher supports this. Google had remarkably little information on this lintian error. But fortunately I had other rules files on my system that had the above command(s) in their rules file so I copied them as much as I could. I placed the previously mentioned find commands under various places in the rules file to no effect (the lintian error kept appearing.) Below is an example of the output I would receive: snip find debian/tmp -type f -name .packlist | xargs -r rm -f find: debian/tmp: No such file or directory find debian/tmp -type d -empty | xargs -r rmdir -p find: debian/tmp: No such file or directory snip What I did to finally get rid of this error was to change the command to this: # remove .packlist files inserted by MakeMaker find . -type f -name .packlist | xargs -r rm -f I changed the directories find looks in because of the error message from find saying: No such file or directory even though the .packlist file existed. (I think that the directory debian/tmp was not being created.) I then placed the changed code (the line above with my comment) in the install section of the debian/rules file and the lintian error went away! I hope this helps some one else. If you think I was wrong to do it this way please inform me of the proper way to do it or any changes I should make.

So this is a small-ish lintian bug. You should probably do find ./debian/ instead of find . to avoid removing files from ./ except from ./debian/.. since a strict reading of policy requires that after the clean rule is run you have to end up in the same state as immediately after dpkg -x $dsc.
