It sounds fine to drop the older lower-cased name from the index and to move the corresponding 0.01 release to backpan.
It also sounds like there's an issue with the newer Dist-Zilla-PluginBundle-BioPerl releases -- since the 02packages index has: Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::BioPerl 0.20 C/CD/CDRAUG/Dist-Zilla-PluginBundle-BioPerl-0.20.tar.gz Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::BioPerl 0.23 C/CJ/CJFIELDS/Dist-Zilla-PluginBundle-BioPerl-0.23.tar.gz What happened to Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::BioPerl in versions 0.21 and later? The 0.23 release does contain Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::BioPerl (see https://metacpan.org/release/Dist-Zilla-PluginBundle-BioPerl) -- why is it not indexed? The package declaration in the module looks fine, and I see no 'provides' or 'no_index' metadata. Perhaps CJFIELDS only got comaint after the 0.23 release, in which case a force-reindexing on PAUSE should clear this up.
