  * Not importing IO::Dir since I'm not using it
  * better handling of upstream-supplied debian/ directories.  If we are
    making a git repo I now remove debian/ directory if the upstream ships
    it. This goes into the 'master' branch, so the 'upstream' branch
    contains the original debian/ directory, and thus matches the
    pristine-tar

    unpacked source directory.

  * Add option --build-source to build .dsc file (c.f. #645011). Also add
    a cpan2dsc 'flavour' of dh-make-perl. If it is called by that name,
    the behaviour changes for easy .dsc creation.
  * Mention cpan2deb and cpan2dsc in the long description.
  * Add myself to Uploaders.

  [ Oleg Gashev ]
  * Fixed timestamp regexp to t/dists.t file. If time zone is EDT, failed

    with incorrect timestamp regexp.

  * Dependency: assume '>=' relationship if missing when constructing from
    hash /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Dependency.pm line 157. Thanks to Robert
    Norris for his patience and his excellent analysis. (Closes: #704480)
  * exclude README in the root directory from .docs "in 9x% we remove it
    from .docs afterwards" this change is a bit of a "big gun", because it
    doesn't really check if README is autogenerated, but hey, fixing a 90%
    false-positive hit is better than introducing a 10% false-negative hit
    (Closes: #608936)

  * create_watch: allow single-digit-only versions.
    Thanks to Kevin Ryde for the report and the proposed fix (Closes: #657249)
  * D:C:FromCPAN/find_debs_for_modules: search core first
    otherwise we get 'perl-modules (>= 2.21)' when requiring
    ExtUtils::ParseXS 2.21
  * bump copyright years
  * configure_cpan: ignore prerequisites to avoid unnecessary prompts
  * setup_dir: ignore $dist->get return value.
    POD says nothing about it, so false doesn't indicate failure.
    false is sometimes returned when some prerequisites aren't
    satisfied, which is not important for us. (Closes: #686739)

    (cf. RT#71708).
  * Fix POD: --pkg-perl sets Vcs-Git, of course.
  * Treat META.json like META.yml (i.e. rm/unlink/ignore it).
  * DhMakePerl::Command::Packaging: don't initialize CPAN if --no-network
    is set. Otherwise t/cache.t fails because CPAN tries to update its
    config and goes out hunting for CPAN mirrors.
  * t/dists.t: allow multiple years in Copyright line.
    "refresh" adds the current year to the years of copyright.
    In other words: This was a "New Year's Bug".
  * t/dists: fix the regexp for matching the email address of our maintainer.
  * DhMakePerl::Command::Packaging: don't initialize CPAN if --no-network is set.

    templates.

  [ Nicholas Bamber ]
  * Updated authorship notice

  [ Damyan Ivanov ]
  * Add --vcs option, guiding VCS-* headers' creation in --pkg-perl mode. It
    also helps with the initial repository creation for Git
  * Do not die when the WNPP cache cannot be read, for example due to binary
    format change in Storable. Also, use platform-independent storage.
    Closes: #626987 - dh-make-perl: Debian::WNPP::Query does not correctly
    invalidate cache or use platform-netural Storable format
  * bump default debhelper compatibility level to 8
  * note oldstable has perl 5.10.0, not 5.8.8
  * apply a patch from Manfred Stock fixing AptContents not to miss
    alternative dependencies when a given module is found in more than one

        is given. (Debian bug #342751)

    FromCPAN: remove leading 'v' from versions

    add Debian::DpkgLists - 'dpkg -S' on steroids

    FromCPAN: use Debian::DpkgLists as a last resort. This allows finding
        dependencies that are present in locally-installed packages.
        (Debian bug #478781)

    Dependency: the 'ver' member is an instance of Dpkg::Version
        Use its ability to compare and drop Debian::Version

    Dependenc{y,ies}: reduce '--' to '-' in the NAME POD section

    make: try harder to discover already existing package by looking up
        distribution modules in APT contents and dpkg file lists.

    replace CPAN::Config->load with CPAN:Handle::Config->load
        the former seems obsolete and only warns:
            Dispatching deprecated method 'CPAN::Config::load' to
            CPAN::HandleConfig

    added README

    added xt/pod-spelling.t to help test POD spelling
