Nobody is a big fan of this setup.
This pre-dates Module::ShareDir.
If someone was to fix things such that new applications installed their stuff to the correct Module::ShareDir location, and we (i.e. Runtime) fell back to looking under lib/ also (for compat with older applications which hadn't been re-installed), then this would get a ++ from me!
I don't think the involved (code) changes are actually particularly hard, just nobody has hated it quite enough to fix it.

I assume you're using 'we' to mean the debian perl team, so I'm cling y'all in, sorry!
If debian have a standard way of making this less retarded, then we'd entirely love to evaluate that as a downstream patch / thing we can work together to fix.
Exactly where do you relocate things and how does it fit into the toolchain (i.e. does this fit to what File::ShareDir does, and if not - why not?)
