We just package the ones that are missing and upload the Debian packages
to our local Debian repository (and, where it makes sense, contribute them
back to Debian as well). Packaging Perl modules is generally trivial with
the assistance of dh-make-perl, particularly if the package only has to be
good enough for internal use.
