Most of dh_make_perl's logic is about extracting all the Debian-needed
information from a module rather than creating a Debian package. And
with the recent evolvement Damyan has kicked, I think dh_make_perl
could be used in a distribution-agnostic way, with different modules
to create .deb, .rpm, ebuild ports, or -why not?- .msi/.exe files. I
agree with your concern about integrating with CPAN's naming in a
better way - Maybe this should belong somewhere in Module:: or so? Our
Debian-specific modules could be Module::Create::Debian, of
course. And dh_make_perl, as an executable, would basically contain
the GetOpt::Long logic and a call to
Module::Create::Debian(Module::GetInformationFrom($opts));
