Hi,

Nope... And I left it lingering for far too long :-/ And now,
re-reviewing the patch, it does _not_ feel as invasive as to warrant
the response I gave... I remember I wanted to restructure the patch
along these lines:

- It adds to new binaries, one of which might be duplicating
  functionalities existing in other packages (make-apt-repository),
  although it is quite concise and well suited for the task at hand.
  (make-apt-repository could be moved to /usr/share/dh-make-perl if it
  is to be specific to us, though)

- I do know that we need to document make-apt-repository and
  dh-make-perl-all (unless one or both of them are moved to
  /usr/share) .

- I think dh-make-perl-all should be included as part of the main
  dh-make-perl, as a command-line option... But I'm not really sure
  about it. 

- dh-make-perl-all creates a cache/ directory wherever it is invoked -
  I understand that caches are to be preserved across invocations, so
  File::Temp::tempdir() is a no-go... But maybe defaulting to
  ~/.dh-make-perl/cache would be better. As for the Apt and Pool
  directories, similar notes. 

So, in short, that's what IMHO should be done. But, of course, when I
passed on maintenance to the pkg-perl group, I'm no longer the
package's owner! ;-)
