+dh-dist-zilla (1.4.1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Use the Debian Perl Team's autopkgtest helpers.
+    + Drop debian/tests/control, no more needed.
+    + Minor search-path related fixes for t/buildpkg.t.
+  * Skip t/syntax.t for autopkgtest, pkg-perl-autopkgtest does it better.
+  * Bump debhelper-compat to 13.
+  * Declare compliance with Debian Policy 4.5.1. (No changes needed.)
