irssi successfully cross builds a broken package. Inside the package,
the architecture-dependent directory for perl extensions uses the build
architecture tuple instead of the host architecture one. This renders
the resulting package unusable.
Fixing this is a little difficult, because there is widely adopted
standard to inform a Makefile.PL about the host architecture. So this
patch provides the information via the perl-lib configure option. Please
consider applying the patch. If you see options for improving it, that'd
be great. Consider adding debian-perl@l.d.o in the loop if you do,
because other packages contain similar constructs worth simplifying.
