Message:

perl modules branch: Specify that the dependencies should be built in alphabetical order (dependencies of an earlier dependency of a package are not listed for the package), and if testing all tests for a module and its dependencies should be run (i.e. deps such as Test::Fatal are not listed for a module if already listed for one of its dependencies). Clean up dependencies in the DateTime area to match this pattern.

     68      Where an alphabetically-earlier dependency of the same module pulls in a
     69      dependency, it is not mentioned for the later dependencies of the same
     70      module. You should build the listed dependencies in order.

    6874      It is generally worth running the tests for perl modules, they often
    6975      can show problems such as missing dependencies which are required to
    70       use the module.  In some cases, such dependencies are marked as
    71       '(for the testsuite)'.

     76      use the module.  Here, the editors have attempted to separate those
     77      dependencies which are only required for running testsuites, but they
     78      will not be mentioned for a module where one of its dependencies uses
     79      that module for its own testsuite.  That is to say, if you intend to
     80      run the testsuites, please run them for each dependency of the module.
