Right. If File::Rsync or Net::SSH are installed, Build.PL will
ask whether to run the corresponding tests. If there's no terminal,
as when building with pbuilder, the default answer, 'no', will be
used.
These tests need an ssh connection to localhost, so they are not
appropriate when autobuilding. Currently, the rsync tests aren't actually
enabled even when answering 'yes' due to a bug in the Debian modification
to Build.PL.
So, I think we should leave libnet-ssh-perl and libfile-rsync-perl out of
the build dependencies. The build system will still prompt when building
interactively and the modules are present, but we can work around
this by running 'perl Build.PL < /dev/null' from debian/rules and
preserve the interactive behaviour for those building 'manually'.

This happens because SVN::Notify::new() wants a sendmail even if it's
not going to use it (which is the case here.) I had success with faking
$ENV{SENDMAIL}:
SENDMAIL=/dev/null $(PERL) Build test
I just committed these changes into the SVN repository; could some
DD please have a look and upload?
