Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20131227
Severity: wishlist

The inn and inn2 packages, which use an embedded perl interpreter, 
currently do this to express a proper dependency on perlapi-* (see 
#182089):

        dh_gencontrol -u-VPERLAPI=$$(perl -MConfig -e 'print "perlapi-" . 
($$Config{debian_abi} || $$Config{version})')

dh_perl adds a perlapi dependency only to packages which contain XS 
modules, so it would be nice if it could either recognize packages which 
have an embedded perl interpreter or have a flag to force this 
behaviour.

(I see that it also would add a versioned dependency on perl, is it 
actually needed in my case?)
