Works!

What I've tried:
- take libperl-metrics-simple-perl
- add a simple debian/tests/control [0]
- copy over the smoke test
- add `mkdir -p $TDIR/blib' [1]

And we get:

t/0901_pod.t ........... skipped: No files found in (blib)
[..]
adt-run [16:48:04]: test smoke: -----------------------]
adt-run [16:48:04]: test smoke:  - - - - - - - - - - results - - - - - - - - - -
smoke                PASS

Agreed.


Change committed and pushed (in pkg-perl-tools), further
thoughts/reviews/comments/tests welcome.

% cat debian/tests/control 
Tests: smoke
Depends: @, @builddeps@

according to the Test::Pod docs, it first looks in blib/ and then in
lib/ if blib/ doesn't exist
