Bug#834961: libvitacilina-perl: FTBFS too much often (configure fails)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:libvitacilina-perl
Version: 0.2-1
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
 debian/rules build-indep
dh build-indep
   dh_testdir -i
   dh_update_autotools_config -i
   dh_auto_configure -i
	perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor create_packlist=0
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
'CREATE_PACKLIST' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because this source package only generates "Arch: all" packages, this
is the same as a FTBFS bug in the usual sense, and the fact that I was
doing "dpkg-buildpackage -A" does not mean anything special.

I attach two build logs. There are more here:

Thanks.
