The patch had some problems with quoting and echoing from functions where there shouldn't have been any echoes, so the debug lines were being put into pkgdep entries and weird stuff like that. Anyway, without the debug patch, I tried the -r perl-threaded-5.10.1 again, and everything finished cleanly this time (I think this was at least the fifth time I started the process though). I guess it was running --check-depends that fixed it.
