I've been discussing / brainstorming another (similar) part of this problem with several people in my github project, http://github.com/robinsmidsrod/unnamed-perl-cms-project, read through the thoughts in the deployment section and I think you'd find a lot of similarities in our wishes. If you'd like to talk I'm idling in #perlcms on irc.perl.org in the hopes that other would want to discuss some of the ideas I have expressed in the README (wrt. a perl cms or deployment issues).

If you don't fancy going into that thing you might consider looking at the Nix (nixos.org) package manager, which is possible to install on any Linux version (other Unixes as well, I think), and is supposed to handle a lot of these dependency issues. I personally haven't had the time to try it yet, put I'd love some feedback on whether or not it is useful for perl/cpan.

On the last time I've jumped to use local::lib in most of my deployments.

The few times I've used dh-make-perl worked as a charm (no recursion as well as dpkg-buildpackage for backports), you only need to have the right -dev (or whatever) packages installed when compiling XS is needed.
