Package: perl
Version: 5.22.1-8
When attempting to build perl-5.22.1-8 on a system that has an old
version of perl currently installed (not cross compiling), the build
fails with:
# convert required header files

I believe this error is not seen in official builds, because a
previous version of perl-5.22 is already brought in through circular
dependencies, and hence the (older version) standard library can be
found in /usr and used at this point.
However it fails when doing a build on a system that doesn't yet have
perl-5.22, and I imagine you'll see the same failure in Debian next
time the perl version number is bumped beyond 22.
I imagine this problem was introduced here:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/perl/perl.git/commit/debian/rules?id=494019582d1007c831e65876dadd258874c9bd91
-I $(srcdir)/lib is no longer passed to PERL_TO_USE.
