 The primary distribution point of dh-make-perl is the Debian archive. If you
 need a tar.gz for CPAN, download the source tarball from Debian. `apt-get
-source --tar-only dh-make-perl' can be used for that.
+source --tar-only dh-make-perl' can be used for that. Since the CPAN
+distribution is named 'DhMakePerl', you probably want to raname the tarball
+to 'DhMakePerl-VERSION.tar.gz' before uploading.
 
 If you don't happen to run Debian (!), see
 http://packages.debian.org/source/unstable/dh-make-perl
 
-In case you want to upload to Debian and need and .orig.tar.gz, run the
-`orig' action.
+In case you want to upload both to Debian and CPAN, use the 'orig' action. It
+will produce identical (hardlinked) DhMakePerl-VERSION.tar.gz and
+dh-make-perl_VERSION.orig.tar.gz files.
