Package: dh-make-perl
Version: 0.44
Severity: normal

Running

	dh-make-perl --build --cpan B::Keywords

dies with

	dpkg-gencontrol: error: syntax error in debian/control at line 17: line with unknown format (not field-colon-value)
	dh_gencontrol: command returned error code 2304

Looking at the generated debian/control it seems to have the long
description part unmangled, ie. without a space indent and "." on blank
lines.
