Bug#668642: dh-make-perl: --arch any ineffective

[Slaven Rezic]

Package: dh-make-perl
Version: 0.70-1
Severity: normal

It seems that --arch any does not work. I tried this option for Filesys::DfPortable
in the form

    dh-make-perl --cpan=Filesys::DfPortable --build --arch=any

but still an "all" package was built.

I have to use the --arch switch here because the automatic XS detection does
not work --- the distribution does not have a .xs file after unpacking, but
creates one in the "perl Makefile.PL" phase (this could also be constructed
as a bug).

Regards,
    Slaven
