Back in the days when dh7 didn't exist yet, debian/rules of the perl 
module packages of pkg-perl were such that Build.PL was always 
preferred over Makefile.PL. dh-make-perl also follows that.

So to me it preferring Build.PL over Makefile.PL seems like the right 
thing to do and would conform to the existing practice.
