The Thruk packaging goes to some lengths to be self-contained, and
duplicates some things that would be better handled by the rest of the
distribution.  I've been tempted to try to repackage it from upstream
source in a somewhat more natural way that makes use of the existing Perl
packages in Debian, although I'm not sure when I'll get to that, or if I'm
missing a reason not to do that.
