This package FTBFS with perl 5.18 from experimental (in a clean
sbuild session):

syntax error at inc/Devel/CheckLib.pm line 164, near "$mm_attr_key qw(LIBS INC)"
syntax error at inc/Devel/CheckLib.pm line 171, near "}"
Global symbol "%args" requires explicit package name at inc/Devel/CheckLib.pm line 175.
syntax error at inc/Devel/CheckLib.pm line 179, near "}"
syntax error at inc/Devel/CheckLib.pm line 185, near "}"

...

The fix is to upgrade (or remove) the embedded Devel::CheckLib to a
fixed version.
