JFTR: Debian Perl Policy requires _binary_ packages to be named
libfoo-bar-erl and doesn't talk about source packages.
(AFAICS Ansgar has produced a list of binary packages, the list of
source packages would be longer.)
It's just widespread consensus that naming the source package in the
same way makes lives easier.
