Section: misc Priority: optional Standards-Version: 3.6.2 Package: perl-full Version: 1.0 Maintainer: Dean Wilson Depends: perl,perl-doc,libdbi-perl Architecture: all Description: Perl install that includes perl-doc and libdbi-perl packages I'm fed up of installing perl and not getting perl-doc. This virtual package fixes that for my local systems and any other that can reach my apt repo . I don't recommend anyone else using this as it was written as an experiment and to voice how much having to install perl-doc bugs me. Oh, and this isn't a good example of a description. Look at real Debian packages for much better ones. . Related blog post - http://blog.unixdaemon.net/cgi-bin/blosxom.pl/operatingsystems/linux/debian/creating_debian_virtual_packages.html
