Just to clarify, I didn't mean splitting the development headers off of the
PDL package.  Leave that as it is: I meant creating a meta-package that
would pull in all the source header packages necessary to compile PDL from
cpan.  In other words, a package that would basically do what your deb-src
solution does without having to put deb-src in the /etc/apt/sources list.  I
only suggested it because I'm exceedingly lazy, and because I didn't realize
that Debian had a nice way of pulling in a package's build dependencies.
Now I know.  :)
