Package: dh-make-perl
Version: 0.47
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
what do you think about having an option to add packages to the
dependency list without overwriting the defaults and generated deps?
I'd suggest allowing the arguments to --depends etc. to be prefixed with
'+' which means appending, not overwriting. E.g.
dh-make-perl ... --depends "+ foo, bar (>> 0), baz (== 42)"
Would result in
Depends: perl (>= 5.8.0), ${misc:Depends}, libfo-o-bar-perl, foo,
bar (>> 0), baz (== 42)
Andreas
