Thanks for your awesome work, Jens!

@debian-perl: To make this usable for the original problem (giving
dpkg-dev a working File::FcntlLock without a transitive hard dependency
on perlapi-*), I suppose the package should either be split or the
${perl:Depends} dependency should be relaxed to a recommendation.

This way dpkg-dev could still depend on the package, and either fall
back to File::FcntlLock::Pure if File::FcntlLock::XS doesn't work, or
just unconditionally use File::FcntlLock::Pure. Not sure which is cleaner.

In the fallback option, dpkg-dev should probably set PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1
before trying to load File::FcntlLock::XS. See #479711. 

(Hm, my preliminary testing indicates that 5.20.0 may introduce new
 challenges around PERL_DL_NONLAZY.  Urgh. Will investigate.)
