Thanks; I didn't see that. Modified.

That's a nice idea. I modified the Makefile.PL to check the value of
DH_VERBOSE too. Tested, works.

Documented this in the README.Debian. However, I'm leaving the *.t tests as
they are, since they're provided by upstream, and if some advanced user
needs them, he shdn't go looking for the .orig.tar.gz. Right?
so the new packages again are at:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/libfilesys-smbclient-perl/
and
deb http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
