advice needed for packaging - Time-modules

Hi,

As of version 0.70, WWW::MySpace needs Time::ParseDate. That module is
distributed in a bundle, together with four other modules.

http://search.cpan.org/~muir/Time-modules-2006.0814/

Now, my doubt: how should that be packaged?

My first approach was a libtime-modules-perl source + a binary package
containing all five modules with Description: that notes all of them to
help users of "apt-cache search" find them.

I have a slight problem with the package name, though. It implies that
it contains Time::Modules, which is not true.

AzaTht proposed splitting each module in its own binary package. This
looks OK package-name-wise, but means that we actually ship single file
in each package plus all the debian packaging overhead. Looks suboptimal
for the archive.

What would you suggest?
