Hello Dominique,
tl;dr: the redirection works fine

I should clarify that I've been trying to build interactively in
sudo pbuilder --login, not some "build this .dsc/directory" mode because
I've still been figuring out what I need to backport. But that shouldn't
matter.

I've now tried running the build (and perldoc) with this modified
makefile snippets:
perldoc -F -onroff -U -ddebian/moar.A \
-w center:MoarVM \
-w "release:MoarVM-$(MOAR_VERSION)" \
-w "date:$(MOAR_DATE)" \
docs/moar.pod
perldoc -F -onroff \
-w center:MoarVM \
-w "release:MoarVM-$(MOAR_VERSION)" \
-w "date:$(MOAR_DATE)" \
docs/moar.pod > debian/moar.B
That is, once as it's in the official version plus -U, and once without the
-d$file but with redirection. The output files were bit-identical, but the
moar.A file was chmod 600, the redirected one was chmod 644. As the file gets
installed by dh_installman, that should be irrelevant.
