Bug#500685: dh-make-perl: Checks ./debian too late in the process

[Mark Lawrence]

Package: dh-make-perl
Version: 0.47
Severity: normal


After a long search using apt-file dh-make-perl stops due to the
existence of ./debian. This check for an existing debian directory
should happen earlier to avoid a long wait for nothing.
