Dear Perl maintainers: This package has not had a maintainer upload in some time, so maybe it will eventually need to be NMUed again.
Would be possible for you to suggest a good fix for this bug? https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=837745#10 The regexp quoted by Sven is used in this way: $1 > 9 or ($1 == 9 and $2 >= '20120909') or error('debhelper 9.20120909 or later required'); So what is really required here is to check that this is true: $Debian::Debhelper::Dh_Version::version >= "9.20120909" in the dpkg-version sense, but surely there is already a perl module to compare Debian version numbers "the right way"... Thanks.
