Bug#114920: PROPOSAL] remove foolish consistence in perl module names

[ivan <ivan@420.am>]

I object to this proposal for the reasons outlined below.  I _do_ agree
with the spirit of the proposal and would support it if the issues below
were resolved.

The amendment should explicitly specify a maximum length rather than the
ambiguous "too long and cumbersome".  This should be a general policy
clarification, not just a perl policy change.

Current perl policy provides an unambiguous mapping from CPAN distribution
name to debian package name, and vice-versa.  If I know the name of the
CPAN module distribution I want, I know the name of the debian package
which provides it.  If I know the name of a debian package, I know the
CPAN module distribution it provides.  I find this *very* useful.  The
amendment as proposed would remove this ability.
