Please sync libfile-spec-perl (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Daniel Hahler]

Binary package hint: libfile-spec-perl

While installing libfile-spec-perl, I've been notified about a bug reported in Debian:
Both libfile-spec-perl and libpathtools-perl do ship
``/usr/share/man/man3/File::Spec::VMS.3pm.gz' but do neither conflict nor add a
diversion, thus fail to be installed in the same environment.

Both packages appear to be the same and Debian handled this bug by having scheduled libpathtools-perl for removal (see the Debian bug for more details)

The solution for Ubuntu seems to be just syncing the new libfile-spec-perl source package.
But because it build-depends on the new debhelper 6, this needs to be merged first. I'm marking this sync request as "in process" until then.

Debian changelog since last synced version in Ubuntu:

   [ Damyan Ivanov ]
   * better transition
     + Make libpathtools-perl contain only a symlink
       usr/share/doc/libpathtools-perl -> libfile-spec-perl

   * add myself to Uploaders

   [ Martín Ferrari ]
   * Remove the symlinks, make both packages ship documentation , and add
     versioned replace, to avoid dpkg bug (see Method B in
     http://wiki.debian.org/Renaming_a_Package).
