It is specific to that module; or, to be more specific, the module distribution archive... The issue is that there is a 'Makefile' already in the distribution archive. (Why didn't we notice that?) A 'perl Makefile.PL && make test' sequence (as a for instance) is not affected because it overwrites that existing one. It affects a Debian pkg build because the build sees that 'Makefile' already there and so uses that instead of creating a new one. (That, I think, can be worked around if needed...)The cause of the issue is that the word "Makefile" is listed in the MANIFEST file, so it gets added to the distribution archive..--
