Those files are useless, and (in some cases) + have the additional problem of creating an architecture-specific + directory name in an architecture-independent package. + . + They can be suppressed by adding the following to <code>debian/rules</code>: + . + find debian/*pkg* -type f -name .packlist -delete + . + or by telling MakeMaker to use vendor install dirs; consult a recent + version of Perl policy.
