Also, we often get away with ignoring the Alien::something=20
requirement and patching the upstream build system instead (and=20
B-D-ing on the -dev package of course).

Looking at https://metacpan.org/release/AJGB/Crypt-NaCl-Sodium-1.0.8.0/sour=
ce/Makefile.PL=20
Alien::Sodium seems to be optional anyway, the Makefile.PL just needs=20
a -L and -I option.

(Instead of manually crafting -L and -I it might be nicer to use=20
ExtUtils::PkgConfig in Makefile.PL.)
