Very true, which is the case with arch-dependent perl-based packages. I'm
referring to the arch-indep packages. I've backtracked a bit and noticed
that most of them just store .packlist's there (no big deal), but there
are a few (libapache-asp-perl comes to mind) which stores other things
into /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/*.

No, those are correct in every case that I've seen thus far.
