Hmm, looks like this pb revolves around the adaptation done upstream to cope 
with Debian idiosyncrasies.

Instead of pushing upstream to cope with Debian, I'd rather let upstream keep 
thing simple (and portable). Then as Debian packager, I would create patches 
to adapt upstream to Debian.

For instance, here's what I've done with Config::Model (as upstream) and 
libconfig-model-perl (as packager): 
* Upstream cme program begins with '#!/usr/bin/env perl'. 
* This line is patched during packaging so Debian's version of cme begins with 
  '#!/usr/bin/perl'.

Hope this helps
