FWIW, at work we gave up on that despite using Debian and having pretty good
support tools to do the job. We settled on packaging all the Perl bits we use
as a single package and landing that everywhere.
That gives us a good balance between the two paths, and has worked out well to
date. Plus it keeps system Perl and company Perl separate...
