Perhaps this is related to the similar #723930 in libdist-zilla-perl, 
which is fixed in version 5.20-1. Not sure if adding version to the 
build-dependency is worth it. The only use of that that I can imagine 
is backporting, but debhelper in wheezy/jessie will not have verbose 
testing enabled, so there should be no problem.
