Nice package, 2-in-1 :)
(A separate C project and a separate perl project.)

What I suggest to try is to copy the perl/ directory somewhere and
run `dh-make-perl --intrusive .' there. The generated debian/control
should show you which perl packages are needed in Build-Depends-Indep
and Depends (I'm pretty sure you need some at runtime as well.)

lintian is quite unhappy, and partly because of the perl stuff …
Maybe we can let the perl_makefile build system do more work?

The following doesn't look that bad resultwise:


#v+

%:
	dh $@

override_dh_auto_clean:
	dh_auto_clean --sourcedirectory=c
	dh_auto_clean --sourcedirectory=perl

override_dh_auto_configure:
	dh_auto_configure --sourcedirectory=c
	dh_auto_configure --sourcedirectory=perl

override_dh_auto_build:
	dh_auto_build --sourcedirectory=c
	dh_auto_build --sourcedirectory=perl

override_dh_auto_test:
	dh_auto_test --sourcedirectory=c
	dh_auto_test --sourcedirectory=perl

override_dh_auto_install:
	dh_auto_install --sourcedirectory=c
	dh_auto_install --sourcedirectory=perl

#v-


Hope that helps a bit,
