Title:
  debuild creates .packlist file and perllocal.pod

Status in “devscripts” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When used to build packages of perl modules, debuild creates a
  .packlist and perllocal.pod files

  An example:
  wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/K/KR/KRISTINA/MongoDB-0.44.tar.gz
  tar xvzf MongoDB-0.44.tar.gz
  cd MongoDB-0.44/
  dh-make-perl
  [... some fixes to dependencies in debian/control reuquired ...]

  debuild -us -uc
  [... lot of stuff here but no errors ...]

  and here is a part of the lintian result:
  [...]
  E: libmongodb-perl: perl-module-in-core-directory usr/lib/perl/5.10/
  W: libmongodb-perl: package-installs-perllocal-pod usr/lib/perl/5.10/perllocal.pod
  E: libmongodb-perl: perl-module-in-core-directory usr/lib/perl/5.10/perllocal.pod
  E: libmongodb-perl: package-installs-packlist usr/lib/perl5/auto/MongoDB/.packlist
  [...]

  Same errors happens with a apt-get sourced perl module...
