Bug#826501: haskell-devscripts: Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated

[Niko Tyni]

Package: haskell-devscripts
Version: 0.10.2.3
Severity: normal
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.24-transition

Building the pkg-haskell-tools package triggers deprecation warnings
with Perl 5.24 (currently in experimental), and probably with Perl 5.22
(current sid) too.

  dh_haskell_blurbs "ghc" -ppkg-haskell-tools
  Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE Newline}$/ at -e line 1.

It looks like this comes from line 61 or so in dh_haskell_blurbs:
        perl -pe 's/\n$/\${Newline}/'|   # prepare for dpkg-gencontrol
        perl -pe 's/\${Newline}$//'      # but not final lineline
