lib*-perl packages are generally expected to match CPAN projects.

It seems neither of the projects mentioned here are on CPAN, so I wonder
if perhaps more sensible for *both* of them to (encurage upstream to
begin using CPAN, and otherwise) avoid the lib*-perl namespace in Debian
for either of them - and at least stop introduce any new packages using
that confusing conflation of namspace for anything-written-in-perl.
