A [[http://dzil.org/][Dist::Zilla]] command to list or install author
dependencies with Debian perl packages.

This command is useful to work on the source of a Perl module that
uses =Dist::Zilla=. This list or install missing author dependencies,
i.e. mostly =Dist::Zilla= dependencies.

These dependencies can be used in Debian's =BuildDepends= list. Note
that other dependencies (runtime or used in tests) are not handled.

To install the author dependencies (i,e, all the =Dist::Zilla= plugins
and extensions) required to build a module, run either:

#+begin_src shell
  dzil authordebs --install  # require sudo to allow apt-get install
#+end_src

#+begin_src shell
  sudo apt-get install $(dzil authordebs)
#+end_src

The former command is preferred as only =apt-get= command is run as
root.
