Fixed in git.

(In a quite ugly way, since "use constant foo => qr/STRING/" works
but not the same with a FUNCTION. Improvements welcome.)

Good question. I read the changelog of important packages like dpkg
carefully but I didn't know by heart that dh-make-perl uses
$diff_ignore_default_regexp ... I guess in the end there's no real
safe alternative to bug reports after the fact :/
