Shouldn't this be loaded by the module which parses META.yml? In 
dh-make-perl's case this is the YAML module (I also tried with 
YAML::Syck and YAML::XS).

I mean, how would dh-make-perl know that it has to pre-load module X?

Note to self: in order to reproduce, do not use --cpan option, because 
it loads CPAN, which loads Module::Build, which loads M::B::Version.
