However, thinking a bit more about this: I expect the outcome of #688842
is that /usr/local is used by default when it's writable by the current
user (which usually meens root privileges), but local::lib still will
be the default for unprivileged users.

That may mean that dh-make-perl needs changes anyway?

Sorry for not being able to dig into this properly right now.
