I was just digging through the archives and found some comments from
Sept 2008 about CPAN provider being immature.
Personally, I wouldn't want a CPAN provider -- if you can get content
from OS packages (debian is particularly good about this)

Doing really minimal packaging for the CPAN modules you use, if not
already packaged, would be worth it in my opinion.
This way presents its problems too, many dependencies to repackage,
and I'd say too much work overall... depends on your needs, ofc.
Repackaging CPAN modules is reasonably trivial, and will give you a more
consistent setup than writing a complex CPAN provider.
Have you looked at dh-perl-make ?
We're using dh-make-perl, and it doesn't handle dependencies
that are not already packaged, IIRC.

I'll read it, thanks.
Skimming through it, it seems the author is aware
of the limitations I was pointing out (having to maintain debian
control files, etc...)
or even cpan2dist ?
I think I looked at it long time ago.
Maybe time to see if it got updates.
Thanks,
