Google shows me the (simple) solution is dh-make-perl refresh --source-format='3.0 (quilt)' (http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/howto/quilt.html#the_post_modern_way__3_0__quilt__) but you probably already know that. >> I can’t comment on the rest of the patch, you may want >> to talk to its author instead.
