General proposal for the perl group:
I think we should switch to dh compat level 9 at least for arch:any
packages. This gives us passing of CFLAGS to Makefile.PL and Build.PL
which is (also) needed for DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noopt (yes, we are
violating Policy 4.9.1 since switching to short-form dh in my
understanding).

Cf. #497653, #643702

Sorry, I don't have an answer. What appeared on IRC is the hint that
this might need to be done in perl itself, and a pointer to a related
older discussion:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2011/05/msg00049.html

Dominic, Niko, do you have any more insights?


Cheers,
