After the first release of Oraperl in a separate distro, as long as you don't change something in DBD::Oracle that breaks the API that Oraperl depends on, you never have to release another version of Oraperl itself again.
I thought about that option as well, but I don't think it buys us anything. For as long as DBD::Oracle doesn't break Oraperl, to have the latter bundled with the former doesn't require any additional work, and doesn't hurt. And when DBD::Oracle will finally break Oraperl, having Oraperl in its own distribution means that for it to work you'll have to manually install a non-latest version of Oracle for it to work -- if it's still bundled with DBD::Oracle, 'cpanm Oraperl' will do the right thing and fetch the last version of DBD::Oracle that includes, and supports Oraperl.
