Hi Oli, The versions of Perl and CPAN packages delivered by the various distributions will always be a moving target for us, especially with the number of prerequisites we've grown to depend on. If we spend too much effort trying to keep everyone happy, we won't be able to concentrate on getting at least one of them happy.
I'd suggest letting our support for Debian "hibernate" and see how things look after their next refresh. Since the package build process is the same for Ubuntu and Debian, it will be trivial to refresh our support for Debian once their Perl and Moose are updated. If someone really needs to use Debian, they'll have to manage the update packages, which will be a site-dependent task anyway.
