commit 744754c913b49d9b62d7b92cce2678f9d7108eeb

    Support executing debian/tests/pkg-perl/smoke-setup as a last resort
    
    A small number of packages need specific tweaks like creating
    directories or generating part of the test suite before actually
    running it, and there's a point where declarative configuration
    just doesn't work anymore.
    
    Closes: #799486
