Test::Base is vendored in inc/ that's why it's found at build time
but not during autopkgtests.

Option 1: Create debian/tests/pkg-perl/smoke-files with
t/
inc/

Option 2: Add "libtest-base-perl <!nocheck>" to Build-Depends-Indep

Option 2a: Add "libtest-base-perl <!nocheck>" to Build-Depends-Indep
and also use it during build tests.


So far the theory, in practice implementing 2a is not so easy … Oh,
and option 1 also doesn't work. Hm.


Interestingly, t/01_live.t is not run during the build:
t/01_live.t ..... skipped: TEST_LIVE is not defined

No idea why it's even tried during autopkgtests (is something setting
TEST_LIVE?). Looking at t/01_live.t, I suggest to skip it during
autopkgtests as well (downloading some weird tumblr page).


Anyway, you'll find some commits in the repo and both buildtime tests
and autopkgtests look clean now :)
