When using the recursive option, dh-make-perl checks for existing
packages both locally and in apt. However, it doesn't check the
versions, so the actual module required may still not exist.
This patch also checks the version, and adds the module to the
missing list if the version does not satisfy the requirement.
It relies on DPKG::Parse::Available and associated RT patch 69920,
but the module appears to be unmaintained. Assuming that the patch
attached to this is acceptable, I'd be happy in looking at options
to ensure that DPKG::Parse::Available is maintained.
