Bug#870334: pkg-perl-autopkgtest: revisiting smoke prove --recurse

My idea is that we should smoke test the same list of tests that
are actually run by "make test" or "./Build test" without having
to parse those *.PL files to figure out that list. Therefore,
the list should be obtained by running those same commands with
some "--dry-run" and "--verbose" options, so we can get a list of
the files being run as tests and put that list in the smoke setup
files.

The issue here is how this "--dry-run" and "--verbose" mode can
be run (e.g. "make -n test TEST_VERBOSE=1" comes to mind) and at
which point of package building that should happen, without
requiring human intervention if possible.

Cheers!
Alex
