Per established Perl conventions, perhaps something like libdebconf-client-confmodule-perl? The dependency transition is going to be an interesting challenge. I see Giole has resorted to (Pre-)Depends, for the Shell part, which makes sense given its size, and could work for Perl as well. Debconf::Client::ConfModule is used by a tiny minority of packages though, so perhaps something more creative can be used in the long-term, like perhaps dh_installdebconf getting taught to add the appropriate dependencies if necessary.
