Well, that was even quite the same as what I was thinking about:
Debian packages get precedence but if there are no apt/somescript
will know how to automagically debianize, compile and install it,
as you have in the else branch).

i.e. really debianize the whole CPAN? Well after all maybe it isn't such a
bad idea :-)
So the actual problem now is to see if it is possible to reduce the work
needed to debianize a typical perl module to an amount that is low
enough for the use of a buildd.
I will do some tries, please mail me if you do further work on this topic.
