Bug#560165: dh-make-perl: Suboptimal "README" detection

[Slaven Rezic]

Package: dh-make-perl
Version: 0.61
Severity: normal


I just tried to build Encode::DoubleEncodedUTF8 with dh-make-perl:

$ dh-make-perl --cpan Encode::DoubleEncodedUTF8
...
Checksum for /home/livesrezic/.cpan/source/authors/id/M/MI/MIYAGAWA/Encode-DoubleEncodedUTF8-0.04.tar.gz ok
...
Found docs: README inc/Module/Install/ReadmeFromPod.pm
...

So the README detection does not look OK for me. Maybe everything with an
.pm extension should not be treated as documentation.
