Package: dh-make-perl
Version: 0.91
Severity: normal

Hi!

This package uses the scalar $diff_ignore_default_regexp from the
Dpkg::Source::Package module, which was deprecated in dpkg 1.17.2.

Please switch to use the get_default_diff_ignore_regex() function.

(For reference, this is documented in the man page for the module and
was mentioned in the debian/changelog. I'm not sure how to make this
kind of thing more visible to API users, w/o having to annoy via a
NEWS file countless program users that get the libdpkg-perl packaged
automaticallt pulled, suggestions welcome!)

Thanks,
Guillem
