Yes, but doesn't that produce end results that depend on too much..?
Locally I build these CPAN dists into real debian packages with
dh-make-perl, which knows how to translate build and runtime
dependencies into their debian equivalents. If that all got mangled into
runtime, surely that would upset that logic?

Which I suppose is built by my own local Build.PL, so that's probably a
good start...
