Is dh-make-perl intended for the end user to replace CPAN? I'd like to see something like "apt-cpan" which will get a requested Perl Module and all it's dependancies via CPAN, debianize them with dh-make-perl and installs them. It might even check for upgrades. Until we have such a thing, I think our users should not have to use CPAN, at least for commonly used packages.
