 point users to debian packages of deprecated core modules

Bug-Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/747628

Several modules are being deprecated with perl 5.20.
To get a clean transition, perl/perl-modules is going to recommend the
separate Debian packages of these for one release cycle so that they will be
pulled in by default on upgrades. This is taking place for perl 5.20/jessie.

However, on systems configured to ignore recommendations the deprecation
warnings will still be useful, so modify them slightly to point to the
separate packages instead.

 squelch locale warnings in debian package maintainer scripts

Bug-Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/508764

The system locales are rather frequently out of sync with the C library
during package upgrades, causing a huge amount of useless Perl locale
warnings. Squelch them when running package maintainer scripts, detected
by the DPKG_RUNNING_VERSION environment variable.

Any real locale problem will show up after the system upgrade too, and
the warning will be triggered normally again at that point.

 fix cpan::firsttime defaults with nonexisting site dirs if a parent
 is writable

The site directories do not exist on a typical Debian system.  The build
systems will create them when necessary, so there's no need for a prompt
suggesting local::lib if the first existing parent directory is writable.

Also, writability of the core directories is not interesting as we
explicitly tell CPAN not to touch those with INSTALLDIRS=site.

 memoize::storable: respect 'nstore' option not respected
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Memoize(3perl) says:

                tie my %cache => 'Memoize::Storable', $filename, 'nstore';
                memoize 'function', SCALAR_CACHE => [HASH => \%cache];

        Include the nstore option to have the "Storable" database
        written in network order.  (See Storable for more details
        about this.)

In fact the "nstore" option does no such thing.  Option parsing looks
like this:

        @options{@_} = ();

$self->{OPTIONS}{'nstore'} is accordingly set to undef.  Later
Memoize::Storable checks if the option is true, and since undef is
not true, the "else" branch is always taken.

        if ($self->{OPTIONS}{'nstore'}) {
                Storable::nstore($self->{H}, $self->{FILENAME});
        } else {
                Storable::store($self->{H}, $self->{FILENAME});
        }

Correcting the condition to (exists $self->{OPTIONS}{'nstore'}) fixes
it.

Noticed because git-svn, which uses the 'nstore' option for its
on-disk caches, was producing

        Byte order is not compatible at ../../lib/Storable.pm

 pass ld settings through to subdirectories

[rt.cpan.org #28632] fixed most issues with passing LD down to
subdirectory Makefile.PL files. However, there are some distributions
(including Wx, Par::Packer, and Verilog-Perl) that explicitly set
LD. Those still can't be overridden from the command line. Adding LD to
the PASTHRU list fixes this.

 look for sitecustomize.pl in /etc/perl rather than sitelib on debian

Debian uses this sitecustomize.pl as a transition mechanism for removing
the current working directory (".") from @INC by default while leaving

This mechanism is expected to be removed after one Debian stable release.
