It won't be eligible for etch-backports unless a version of the package
reaches testing (and unless it's not possible to just apt pin it from
there).
It might get packaged for unstable/testing if there's a good reason why
we need a newer version (CPAN has 0.46 and perl-modules has 0.40_1).
Looks like there's some bug fixes...
