It would be nice if dh_perl would add the dependencies from the META files to the appropriate substvars like dh_python3 does for Python packages.

That automatically adds runtime dependencies when upstream adds those their package metadata, for Perl packages I always have to remember to update dependencies manually when the upstream diff shows dependency changes in the META files.
