Problem is with source tarball. Debian has rules to delete Error.pm and the man page for it (git includes this because Perl doesnt). liberror-perl is a dependency for git-core. Now back to the problem, it appears the permissions are wrong in the source tarball so the rules script does not have correct permissions to delete the files. I recommend patching the Makefiles to remove these. One of the relevant makefiles is <src package dir>/Perl/Makefile. Now I think there is a man page too that needs to be removed but I haven't looked at that.
