I was using cpan2deb, but it didn't seem from the man page like it 
should make a difference.  Clearly it does, however.

I have 0.75 from /testing here, I (foolishly?) thought 0.76 wouldn't be 
that much different.

With that version, I get this:

$ cpan2deb Net-BitTorrent-Protocol
Going to read '/usr/src/build/cpan/Metadata'
   Database was generated on Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:17:02 GMT
Going to read 1 yaml file from /usr/src/build/cpan/build/
CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.972101)
DONE
Restored the state of none (in 0.0987 secs)
Unable to determine the version of Net-BitTorrent-Protocol-v1.0.0

My patch fixes (for me) that error in the last line and let me build a 
.deb.


But, if I use "dh-make-perl --cpan" instead of "cpan2deb", I get output 
equivalent to yours.

If I use "dh-make-perl --build --cpan", I get the output with the git 
complaint, but the package does build.

Now I'm confused ;)  Hopefully something here helps you be less 
confused.
