Bug#710842: perl: perlbug doesn't include locally-applied patch info

Package: perl
Version: 5.18.0-1
Severity: minor

Even though perl -V displays them correctly:

(perl-5.18-i386-sbuild)dom at carme:~$ perl -V|grep -A 5 "Locally applied"
  Locally applied patches:
        DEBPKG:debian/cpan_definstalldirs - Provide a sensible INSTALLDIRS default for modules installed from CPAN.
        DEBPKG:debian/db_file_ver - http://bugs.debian.org/340047 Remove overly restrictive DB_File version check.
        DEBPKG:debian/doc_info - Replace generic man(1) instructions with Debian-specific information.
        DEBPKG:debian/enc2xs_inc - http://bugs.debian.org/290336 Tweak enc2xs to follow symlinks and ignore missing @INC directories.
        DEBPKG:debian/errno_ver - http://bugs.debian.org/343351 Remove Errno version check due to upgrade problems with long-running processes.

perlbug doesn't seem to. See eg
https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=118271:

"
Locally applied patches:


---
@INC for perl 5.18.0:
....
"

The same behaviour exists in 5.14.2-21 at least.
