Yeah, that's indeed good enough.  I somehow missed this transitional

Bug#853295: git-buildpackage should recommend or suggest libdistro-info-perl

2017-01-31 Thread Rolf Leggewie
Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.6.22
Severity: normal

Dear Guido,

thank you for maintaining git-buildpackage.

I noticed that git-dch uses functionality from libdistro-info-perl.  Wouldn't
it be a good idea to either recommend or suggest the package?

Regards

Rolf
