Urgh. This is unfortunate. I assume it broke after squeeze
when I switched patchlevel.h to use

 #ifdef DEBIAN
 #include "patchlevel-debian.h"
 #endif

as perlbug just skips those preprocessor directives.

I think we'll have to either make utils/perlbug.PL follow #include
directives, or just hardcode patchlevel-debian.h. It would be nice to
push a fix into a wheezy point release too. (OTOH severity:minor doesn't
quite justify that so maybe not :)
