Package: dh-make-perl
Version: 0.21
Severity: normal

When I build a libnetaddr-ip-lite-perl package from NetAddr::IP::Lite using
dh-make-perl and run the resulting package through lintian, I get the
following error message:

  E: libnetaddr-ip-lite-perl source: build-depends-indep-without-arch-indep
  N:
  N:   The control file specifies source relations for
  N:   architecture-independent packages, but no architecture-independent
  N:   packages are built.
  N:
  N:   Refer to Policy Manual, section 7.6 for details.

I think dh-make-perl should say "Build-Depends: perl (>= ...)" instead of
"Build-Depends-Indep: perl (>= ...)" when creating debian/control for an
arch-specific package.  Can dh-make-perl do that?
