That's an interesting case.

0.14-2 does b-d on libmodule-build-perl and is really uploaded and
libmodule-build-perl really gets installed in the chroot -- but there
is no Module::Build::Version:

# dpkg -L libmodule-build-perl | grep Version | wc -l
0

The upstream bug report at
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=98689
suggests to "use Module::Metadata to find 'package' declarations in
code, and version.pm to parse version strings."

From M::B's upstream changelog:

0.4207 - Sat Aug 16 12:56:59 CEST 2014
[..]
  - Module::Build::YAML has been removed

  - Module::Build::ModuleInfo has been removed

  - Module::Build::Version has been removed


Cheers,
gregor
