There's a pending Perl policy change discussed in #750017 that requires
the handful of packages in the archive that install nonbinary Perl modules
into /usr/lib/perl5 (or, more generally, $Config{vendorarch} to add a
perlapi-* dependency. The attached mostly untested patch implements this
in dh_perl.

I'll try to find some time to test it myself, but as that could be done by
others too, I wanted to file this sooner rather than later. Not adding
the 'patch' tag quite yet, though.

Subject: [PATCH] Add perlapi-* dependency on packages installed to
 $Config{vendorarch}

$Config{vendorarch} can now change between perl versions, so stricter
dependencies are needed for partial upgrades. See #750017 for details.

This currently affects six packages in the archive.
