I have posted this message to Czech Linux mailing list too, and I got an
answer with reference to
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=154255&repeatmerged=yes.
There I found an advice to try
strace perl -e 'use Debian::Debhelper::Dh_Lib' 2>&1 |grep open |grep Dh_Lib
So I tried it. And I found out I am using
/usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Dh_Lib.pm instead of
/usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Dh_Lib.pm. I don't know how it is
possible /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Dh_Lib.pm was on my system, but
after I had removed it the build of the package worked.
