Hrm. I never noticed the --recursive option, but since cpan2deb exists
for much longer than cpan2dsc (which I created because I was surprised
it didn't exist yet), I had expected that it's used not that seldom.

Hrm, backporting newer versions from Testing or Unstable is out of
scope? (If they exist of course -- which I would expect if they are
only Dancer2 dependencies.)
For your own repo you could work with pure rebuilds or -- if the
dependencies are satisfiable in Wheezy -- just include the packages
from Testing/Unstable.
