I was hoping that this problem would've been fixed by now, but since I got 
tired of being unable to run debuild, I tried to figure out what happened.

I compared the debuild from lenny to find what change had caused the problem, 
and I just reverted that part of debuild back to the way it was done in lenny.  
I attached a simple patch that I've been using successfully (so far).

I'm sorry that I can't be more help, but I'm absolutely dimwitted when it 
comes to messing with perl.
