-  TODO:
-  - debian/control:
-    + the short description should be a noun phrase, i.e. work in a sentence
-      like "<package> is a <short description>". maybe something like "module
-      for installing ..."
-      and as lintian says ("description-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly")
-      it shouldn't end with a full stop
-    + the long description sounds a bit like promotion, but well :)

   * Initial Release. (Closes: #579147)

-Description: Get, unpack, build and install modules from CPAN.
- cpanminus is a script to get, unpack, build and install modules from CPAN.

+Description: Script to get, unpack, build and install modules from CPAN
  Why? It's dependency free, requires zero configuration, and stands alone.
  When running, it requires only 10MB of RAM.
+ .
+ It installs to wherever ExtUtils::MakeMaker and Module::Build are
+ configured to. So if you're using local::lib, then it installs to your
+ local perl5 directory. Otherwise it installs to the siteperl directory.
+ .
+ cpanminus at a boot time checks whether you have configured local::lib,
+ or have the permission to install modules to the sitelib directory. If
+ neither, it automatically sets up local::lib compatible installation
+ path in a perl5 directory under your home directory.
