Despite the smiley that might actually be a nice idea, then people
would just have to remember "dh-make-perl --cpan Foo::Bar --build"
(or we could provide a wrapper with a shorter name; cpan2deb?) and if
the package already exists dh-make-perl says "Hey, why not just run
`aptitude install libFOO-BAR-perl'?".

Cheers,
