This is the easy part: Set

DEB_DH_PERL_ARGS=debian/$(pkg)/usr/lib/findimagedupes/auto/findimagedupes

*after* the inclusion of the CDBS snippets.

Substituting the current hard-coded dependancy on perl with
${perl:Depends} in debian/control produces a dependancy on "perl" which
seems OK. (However, I did not get it to add the other libraries used by
findimagedupes. I'm quite sure dh_perl would handle those as well but I
could not get it to work and gave up after 1.5 hours. I tried passing
different directories to dh_perl but that did not do the trick. Any
hints are welcome.)

As for the bug: Adding DEB_DH_PERL_ARGS and ${perl:Depends} produces a
working package for me. I tested it in testing and unstable chroots.

Best regards
Manuel
