I added this to @rule_clean_depends instead of @global_clean_depends since
the requirement really does depend on someone running perl Build in the
clean rule.  I hope this isn't too aggressive; I may have to move it to
@rule_clean_allowed instead.  As-is, it will require libmodule-build-perl
in Build-Depends and error if it's not there, which *seems* right, but
we'll see.
