perl-tk fails to cross build from source for several reasons.
Ultimately, the build dependency on perl requests a host architecture
interpreter, which cannot be installed. The recent addition of
perl-xs-dev is what is really needed for building a perl extension, so
perl can be dropped now. While at it, I also opted for annotated test
dependencies <!nocheck>. When actually building perl-dk, it fails
configuring the embedded jpeg library. This is due to a check for the
system copy that requires running host code. The failure is understood
as building the vendor copy. In the attached patch, I am demoting the
try_run to a try_compile check. This poses a weaker verification that
may be undesired on other platforms. It should be safe when building on
Debian, but discussing a compromise is likely needed when trying to
forward this upstream. Combining the aforementioned changes makes
perl-tk cross buildable and you may find them in the attached patch.
