Well, if it is not a standalone package (ala mailagent), but a
module to be used in other code. we can create the convention that it
would be in interpreters.
When I look in mail, I am looking for programs which deal with
mail, not libraries, I think. It would be nice to have a convention
for Perl script authors that all Debian modulkes are in interpreters
(similar to going to CPAN as a one stop location for perl stuff
elsewhere).
For packages that have both an executable anda module, let the
maintainer decide ;-)
