Gna.

This is my fault: Joey was kind enough to add  '--skipdeps' to
debhelper's dh_auto_configure on my request (cf. #528235).
I've tested it with Makefile.PL from ExtUtils::MakeMaker and from
Module::Install but not with Module::Build::Compat, and here it seems
to break.

I guess '--skipdeps' should only be added if
inc/Module/Install/AutoInstall.pm really exists. I'm attaching a
preliminary and untested patch as a suggestion.

(Another question is if we can add "create_packlist=0" only if
Makefile.PL uses M::B::C; it doesn't break anything in other cases
but the warning we get is not particularly nice either.)


Sorry for the mess ...
