Please add support for perlapi-$Config{debian_abi}. This is an upcoming
policy change discussed in #579457.
I don't know when the next policy version will be released, but the change
is backward compatible and I'd love to have it before Perl 5.12.0 gets
in sid just in case it will be actually needed.
Thanks for your work,

As per the upcoming policy change discussed in #579457,
perlapi-$Config{debian_abi} is preferred over perlapi-$Config{version}
where available.
