FWIW there are 27 pkg-perl maintained arch-dependent packages
that contain subdirectory Makefile.PL files, and 9 of those
match 'grep -w -R LD' somewhere. I went through those, and
only three are actually affected:

 libwx-perl
 libpar-packer-perl
 libverilog-perl

So at least these three should be binNMU'd once we have fixed this.
