[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#827499: libtfbs-perl: Patches for misc packaging improvements

[merlettaia]

Hi Andreas,
I've looked at `libtfbs-perl`, it seems that it already has testsuite
similar to those produced by `autopkgtest-pkg-perl`.
If you think it's better to use it instead of your testsuite in
debian/tests/, I can change it (but for me it checks almost the same things
- and if debian/tests/control present, tests from autopkgtest-pkg-perl
won't be run if not to allow them in control file like this:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-perl/packages/pkg-perl-tools.git/tree/autopkgtest/examples/default-tests-control
).

There is a problem with one of tests: t/04_DB_TRANSFAC.t (you skip this
test in run-unit-test).
It seems that this tests fails because service is not available anymore,
not because of network problems.
When I open url, produced by following line in script, by hand:

  my $pfm1 = $db->get_Matrix_by_acc('M00039');

it redirects me to this page:

http://www.cbil.upenn.edu/tess?request=MTX-DBRTRV-Accno&key=M00039

It seems that this test fails not because network errors, but because that
online service is not reachable any more. And probably it should be removed
from testsuite, how do you think?
