I don't think it really makes sense for Debian to start packaging up
every CPAN module. However, I reckon that Perl people (oh no, that
includes me) should be doing it.
The main question is this: what exactly do you need to package up a
CPAN module under Debian? Better prereqs? Better defaults under
interactive installs? [bear in mind that we can easily add metadata,
but one thing we can't do is change everyone's modules]
