ii debhelper 7.0.17ubuntu4 helper programs for debian/rules
dh_perl is supposed to search in the package staging directory for perl
programs. If it finds one, it adds a dependence on perl to the rules
file.
dh_perl is following symlinks in the staging directory, which causes it
to look at files outside of the staging directory. Having a symlink to a
perl program does not mean the package depends on perl, so dh_perl
should simply ignore symlinks.
** Affects: debhelper (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
