Hi Thomas;

I'm not sure what precisely you're proposing (I'm also not one of the
team members working on dh-make-perl, so don't get too excited ;) ).

Are you suggesting splitting dh-make-perl into two packages? It seems
like one of them would be just a script, and a bit silly.  Or is your
request more about documenting and/or fixing library interfaces?
