Bug#856532: Error: Can't locate object method "get_user"

[David Nebauer]

Package: dh-make-perl
Version: 0.93
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

When trying to build Dn::Role using dh-make-perl with the following
command:

    dh-make-perl Dn-Role-v0.1

the following error occurred:

-------------------------------------

== dh-make-perl 0.93 ==
Trying /PATH/TO/MODULE/DISTRIBUTION/Dn-Role-v0.1/../Dn-Role-v0.1.tar .gz... found!
Using META.json
Found: Dn-Role 0.1 (libdn-role-perl arch=all)
Can't locate object method "get_user" via package "DhMakePerl::Command::make" at /usr/share/perl5/DhMakePerl/Command/Packaging.pm line 130.

-------------------------------------

Line 130 from Packaging.pm is:

    $email = $self->get_user . '@' . $mailh;

I looked for method 'get_user' in the DhMakePerl package using:

    grep -R get_user /usr/share/perl5/DhMakePerl/*

and

    grep -R get_user /usr/share/perl5/DhMakePerl.pm

but the only match was line 130 of Packaging.pm where the method is
called.
