On second thought, I think this is the way to go. The test wanted to
test if the core module detection in dh-make-perl works. Thta
detection heavily relies to Module::CoreList, so a simple test would
work fine. Perhaps adding a negative test about 'Foo::Bar' being core
would suffice to guarantee that there is no a 'return 1' type of
'detection'.
