"The policy that all pkg-catalyst packages need to conform to is mainly 
based upon the Debian Perl policy 
(http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/perl-policy/).

There's only one exception. All packages, that are in the CPAN bundle 
Bundle::Catalyst will be packaged seperately. All other modules will be 
put into the libcatalyst-modules-perl package, so the archive will not 
be bloated that much with those tons of Catalyst::* packages that are 
currently on CPAN. "

There is one problem - Bundle::Catalyst is not solid, stable list of 
packages, this list could be changed from time to time (especially when 
new Big version of Catalyst is released). For example:

http://lists.rawmode.org/pipermail/catalyst/2005-November/002550.html

Then our rule is not quite smart. I propose to drop this rule and make 
libcatalyst-modules-perl some metapackage.

        jak to dobrze, że są oceany - bez nich byłoby jeszcze smutniej
