The idea is good. I just have one simple bundle but I'd add that test to it. About testing that all the modules are available on CPAN: How do you test locally? What if the bundle gets into CPAN before the bundle? What if the installation is not done from cpan but from a local cpan or on a box without internet connection? My 2 cents, Nadim.
