It saves you one line, and if you're really lazy, you can even cut and
paste it from the perl policy.
Furthermore for manual install of packages, they will be installed in
site_perl and won't be versionned.
And last but not least, the installarchlib is calculated with
installprivlib when not overriden on the command line ... that
would mean that if we use installprivlib then we still need to
add a line for the binary modules. That doesn't help us much ...
