The Debian Perl Group works on packaging Perl modules for Debian. This collection contains the tools which help the group with day-to-day work, like filing ITPs, forwarding bugs and patches upstream, taking over a package for the group, maintaining proper git repository structure and so on. These include dpt, bts-retitle, patchedit, and pristine-orig.

Additionally it depends on, recommends or suggests separately packaged tools the Debian Perl Group uses.

It also includes some Debian Perl Group specific lintian checks. Add "profile=pkg-perl" ("LINTIAN_PROFILE=pkg-perl" for lintian versions before 2.79.0) to your ~/.lintianrc to use them after installing this package.
