Bug#871729: libembperl-perl: FTBFS when debhelper does not export PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC

[intrigeri]

Hi,

<snipped Florian's proposed patch>

I'm a little bit confused about the status of this bug report:

 - On 2017-10-09, Florian proposed a patch here and forwarded
   it upstream.

 - On 2018-06-28, Axel applied a different patch in our Vcs-Git and
   uploaded to sid.

So I have 2 questions:

 - As far as Debian is concerned, this bug is fixed and could be
   closed with version 2.5.0-12, right?

 - I'm wondering which one of the 2 patches is best.

   But anyway, taking a step back, it looks like for all practical
   purposes, in absence of an active upstream, our team de facto
   started maintaining this module in 2014. I'll start a discussion on
   the team mailing list about whether that's what we really want.

Cheers!
