Thanks for this proposal.

While I see the value behind the idea, I think I shhould mention that
most people involved with dh-make-perl probably never use --build and
--install, because we want to create a rough source package which we
then polish before uploading, so my guess is that this feature
request won't be very high on anybody's TODO list without a patch
from someone who actually wants and uses it.
