NAME
       dh_perl_dbi - add dependencies required for DBI modules

SYNOPSIS
       dh_perl_dbi [debhelper options]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_perl_dbi is a debhelper program that is responsible for adding a dependency on
       perl-dbdabi-* to the ${perl:Depends} substitution variable.  Such a dependency is required
       for packages that use the DBD<>DBI binary interface; do not use this for packages that only
       use the DBI module.

       A debhelper addon is also provided.  This makes it possible to just use

         #!/usr/bin/make -f
         %:
                 dh $@ --with perl_dbi

       for debian/rules.

       Alternatively, since libdbi-perl/1.642-1 you can just build depend on dh-sequence-perl-dbi
       and omit the "--with perl_dbi" part.
