These are elegantly simple, thanks! It's a credit to the debhelper
architecture that it's so easy.

How will these be deployed? Do you think there might be a chance of
getting it added to the debhelper packages like dh_perl? Or, will it
need to be packaged and distributed separately? We can get Joey Hess to
review it either way, since it will be interacting with debhelper.
