Sounds good.

I don't agree with this. There are a *lot* of modules on CPAN. Do we
have the entire CTAN in Debian? (Apart from non-free stuff like
lgrind.)
We should probably have more bundling than the packages currently
provide, but it will need a bit of work to do the classification. I
am unlikely to want AppleII::ProDOS installed because I want
Compress::Zlib.
