Great.

dod would be the ultimate authority here, but my guess is that this
doesn't work. In my understanding App::Cme/cme doesn't know about
potential models and even less about the packages they are in in any
distribution. -- Like `cat $file' won't tell you to install a package
which contains $file if it doesn't find it :)

But I might be wrong here ...
