This is Module::Build writing the .packlist in the wrong location i'm afraid :( I've reported the bug to them as: http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=18162 I've also added a patch to C::D::Deb to remove any .packlist files written by M::B until this problem is solved... it's not ideal, but better than installation conflicts.
