This doesn't matter. 

What matters is the package installing its modules into the perl-vendor-tree, is
it  being distributed via CPAN (it is update-able via cpan), and is ease of

Also, we've had precedences where package had been forced to be renamed to using
the perl-<distribution> convention. I don't see why this package should be an
exception.
