Description-en: debhelper add-on to call dzil build and clean up after the build
dh-dist-zilla provides a debhelper sequence addon named 'dist_zilla',
i.e. you can use it in your project's debian/rules as "dh $@ --with
dist-zilla".
.
The intention is to be able to build Debian Perl packages directly
from a Dist::Zilla based Perl distributions without generating the
CPAN distribution tar-ball manually first. It is analogous to using
autoreconf to generate the configure script.
.
The orig.tar.gz/.xz file must only contain the dist.ini and source
files but not the generated files like META.yml, README, etc. If you
use dh-dist-zilla, you can use "debian/rules get-orig-source" to
generate a conforming upstream tar ball if none is available yet.
