1. **Modified `scan` method in `Alien/Package/Tgz.pm`:**
- The method now attempts to read and parse `install/slack-desc` from input .tgz packages.
- If found, the package's description and summary are populated from `slack-desc`.
- Fallback to existing behavior if `slack-desc` is not present.
2. **Modified `prep` method in `Alien/Package/Tgz.pm`:**
- When creating a .tgz package, an `install/slack-desc` file is now generated.
- This file is populated using the package's summary and description, formatted according to Slackware standards.
- A helper function `_format_slack_desc` was added to handle the formatting logic.
3. **Modified `build` method in `Alien/Package/Tgz.pm`:**
- When creating a .tgz package, `makepkg` is now used.
- Package is now named according to Slackware standard naming scheme.

* Fix "FTBFS with perl 5.22 in experimental (MakeMaker changes)":
remove override_dh_auto_install in debian/rules, and
use DESTDIR in Makefile.PL.

The runpipe interface is not a good one, it would be better to use
something that does not expose to the shell.
As a quick fix, quote filenames in runpipe calls. Too bad if you have a
quote character in a file though. Later need to find a better interface
or do full shell escaping.
directory failing if the directory already existed (and let it delete the
existing directory). Closes: #181061
* Fixed several other instances of the same precidence problem in the code.
fully conformant with the LSB), and it can take LSB packages and convert
them into other formats. Unlike all the other conversions, lsb packages's
dependancy (on lsb) and their package scripts are preserved in the
generated packages (when allowed by the target package format). This means
your distribution will need to have a package named 'lsb' for the result
to be installable. (Debian will have one soon..)
* Suggest rpm-lsb, which is the preferred rpm to build lsb packages with.
Use it if it's present, plain old rpm otherwise.
There are still a lot that use shell tricks. Should deal with screwey
rpms and file names better though. Closes: #105283
* Display build logs after build failures.
* Fixed newlines in tgz filelist.
* Fixed some undefined value warnings.
* Put the rpm spec file back in. Converting the debs to rpms fails
because rpm doesn't use the same perl include path. Bummer.
* Fixed duplicate alien man page problem.
