Your patch looks like it does what it is supposed to do. I'm still wondering though if, when tackling this bug anyway, shouldn't go for a broader, more general solution. An example would be something like lib/Dep.pm from Lintian. It handles the problem on a more abstract level. NB: I'm currently trying to include into the dpkg build system the possibility to handle the installation of real Perl modules which I would like to solve before doing something like this. The problem with that is that ExtUtils::MakeMaker doesn't support different src and build directories. Without it it seems like a real hassle to find out the correct installation directory, though... Maybe we should stay in /usr/lib/dpkg for now... Conclusion: Let's discuss this bug here on Debconf once you arrived.
