dh-make-perl echo what dpkg-buildpackage does, namely call debian/rules
build first and then fakeroot debian/rules binary, which will do the build
(and hence the test) as the regular user and only obtain fake root
privileges for the install and package build.  Or it could even just run
dpkg-buildpackage instead of calling the target directly.
