In speaking with Jos, I put the same question to him. He thought that  
having CPANPLUS in debian would be good because it will take while  
for perl 5.10 to stabilize. This means there is a lag from 5.10 to  
lenny/sid and a lag from lenny/sid to either lenny or etch, or  
whatever is stable. So he thought it might be good to package  
CPANPLUS, and as Gunnar says, we can just remove it once, or when, it  
becomes a permanent feature of the standard perl distribution.
