Oh, sorry, I misunderstood your comment. You're talking about the build-depend part. Yeah, this means there's no explicit statement saying that a Perl module must build-depend on perl, but dpkg-dev depends on perl so it's pseudo-build-essential. Plus, I would hope that would be obvious, since Perl is used during the build process, that a dependency on perl is required. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
