Bug#870236: libnet-dns-perl: autopkgtest broken in 1.10

Hi Ondřej,

In Ubuntu, the libnet-dns-perl autopkgtests are failing:

t/00-version.t ................
1..1
ok 1 - file version: 0.01 blib/lib/Debian/pkgperl/Foobar.pm
No such file or directory at t/00-version.t line 40.
END failed--call queue aborted.
# Looks like your test exited with 2 just after 1.
Dubious, test returned 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)

<http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/libn/libnet-dns-perl/artful/amd64>

This is a regression vs. 1.07, which is the last version that has been
tested so far on ci.debian.net.

I've tracked down the regression to the fact that the autopkgtest references
'Makefile' in the current directory, but when run as part of the generic
perl autopkgtests, we won't have done a package build so there is no
Makefile only Makefile.PL. To resolve this, I've created the attached patch
which checks for the existence of Makefile before attempting to open it.

Hope that helps,

[Niko Tyni]

Thanks. The test doesn't make much sense for the autopkgtest setup,
so skipping it makes sense. An easier way to do that would be just
to put it in debian/tests/pkg-perl/smoke-skip, which I've just done
with 1.10-2.
