Hi,

The dh-make-perl package has code to access the apt-file cache
directly.  In apt-file 3, this cache is removed (merged into APT's
cache).

Please update dh-make-perl accordingly.

 * Please use "apt-get indextargets [--format ...]" to find the cache
   files.  The apt-file ones you are interested in should generally be
   "Created-by: Contents-deb".

 * Please use "/usr/lib/apt/apt-helper cat-file files ..." for reading
   the files (to ensure you support all the compression algorithms
   supported by APT).

Thanks,
~Niels
