Probably that is caused by the perl_build buildsystem not being detected for a package that has a Makefile.PL, and so MODULEBUILDRC is not overridden. So, I could add it to the perl_makemaker buildsystem too, but then it's also possible for it to be run from a Makefile.. so I could add it to dh_auto_*. But then there are packages that don't use those commands at all, and will still be affected. So I conclude that dealing with this in debhelper is out of its scope, and this needs to be fixed at a higher level, probably dpkg-dev. Although I'll bet the dpkg-dev maintainers will not be very interested in working around every local user configuration that could cause a package to build wrongly. By that line of thinking, the bug is yours, due to having configured your system to behave that way, and you should avoid such configurations on systems that are used to build packages. -- see shy jo
