Actually, the packlist keeps track of what has been installed by Perl's
build system - and ExtUtils::Installed is the official perl tool of
choice to query that information.
Falling back to calling 'dpkg -l' means calling an external program and
hardwiring a perfectly system independend script to a Debian distro (not
that I'd mind that much, but still...).
