Package: dh-make-perl
Version: 0.129
Severity: normal

Hi,

With the help from "debian-codesearch-cli", I've been cleaning a lot of old
extraneous/confusing/useless debian/README.sources instructions.

'3.0 (quilt)' is the one source format that should already be used
for all Perl packages, baring the few native ones, like "dh-make-perl" itself;
and it should also come to be the official default.

   https://trends.debian.net/#source-formats

Please trim the boilerplate logic from add_quilt{},
to avoid generating more confusing/useless boilerplate in the futur.

Greetings,

Alexandre

  This package uses quilt for managing all modifications to the upstream
  source. Changes are stored in the source package as diffs in
  debian/patches and applied during the build.

  See /usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source for a detailed explaination.
