All correct, see the .buildinfo:

Build-Path: /build/libdevel-cover-perl-1.21

If you look at the build logs, you will see they both use the same path:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/logdiffs/unstable/amd64/libdevel-cover-perl_1.21-1.diff.gz

-make[1]: Entering directory '/build/libdevel-cover-perl-1.21'
+make[1] : on entre dans le répertoire « /build/libdevel-cover-perl-1.21 »
