Bug#557145: libobject-realize-later-perl: Fails to build from source if directory name isn't exactly the default.

Package: libobject-realize-later-perl
Version: 0.18-1
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source

If you extract the source as libobject-realize-later-perl-0.18-1 rather
than the default libobject-realize-later-perl-0.18, then the package
builds without error but leaves out the modules due to using an incorrect
directory name as a target.

The variable PACKAGE is set in debian/rules using a regex on the current
directory name, which is just insane.  I have found a few perl packages
failing in this way lately, and I only just realized why they build when
I do it manually, but fail when I use sbuild.

It would be much safer and much more sane to get the package name from
debian/control rather than the current directory name.

This works much better:

PACKAGE=`grep Package: debian/control | sed -e "s/.*: *//"`
