[debhelper-devel] Bug#833781: debhelper: please invoke perl build processes with -I. [CVE-2016-1238]

Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20160709
Severity: serious
Justification: https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2016/07/msg00476.html
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-cwd-inc-removal

As per the referenced thread, we are going to remove '.' from @INC,
the perl module search path, by default, shortly. Please can you apply
something like the attached patches (which were uploaded as a security
update 9.20150101+deb8u2) at your earliest convenience? This will fix
a substantial number of FTBFS bugs resulting from such a change.

The attachments are from my local git repository which I used to 
prepare the jessie-security update, to import into the official repo
should you wish. This should make merging/cherry-picking easier.

Thanks,
Dominic.
