Nice. Thanks for that.

Module::Install is rather new and I think I have never seen a dist 
that is using it and has no META file.

The only problem I see with the above is that it makes dh-make-perl 
run untrusted code. I'd rather make it abort and suggest that the user 
runs whatever s/he wants in order to help.

To defent my paranoic attitude, think about runnung dh-make-perl over 
all of CPAN automatically.
