I think that will have to be enough.

I would rather not force behaviors just to close some edge cases.
Perhaps if we had plugins for this sort of thing, it would give people
smarter ways to do author-check type of things? Then again, one could
already do `./Build distdir && sometool checksignature && ./Build dist`
or even write that into their CPDK setup. So, I'm pondering the
utility of plugins in this regard (though maybe installdeps could mean
it would be simpler to use Module::Build as your sole author tool on a
distributed project.)
