Maybe we should not run MANIFEST tests during package build? MANIFEST 
correctless has nothing to do with the package, right?

Not sure how to achieve it, though.

 (1) Build-Conflict with libtest-distmeta-perl (dh-make-perl refresh 
     can be tought to do that)?

 (2) Drop AUTOMATED_TESTING=1 (&co) from debian/rules?

 (3) Another approach could be to patch Module::Build to not refresh 
     META/create MYMETA unless asked to.

My preference goes with (2).
